OKX’s Star Says Crypto, Internet and AI Are Converging Into Next-Gen Finance

The notable shift here is not OKX's product expansion but the equity participation of traditional market infrastructure and banking names — that signals crypto venues are being absorbed into mainstream finance rather than disrupting it from outside. Star's claim that AI now handles the overwhelming majority of engineering work is the more consequential detail: it reframes AI as operational plumbing for exchanges, not a trading narrative. Whether that level of AI-driven development scales without governance problems, and whether institutional backing translates into real integration rather than passive stakes, are the open questions worth watching.
