According to PANews on October 18th, OKX founder and CEO Star wrote on the X platform: "Many may not understand why OKX doesn't choose to 'cooperate' or 'acquiesce' to the calls and manipulation of prices by influential opinion leaders – after all, that would allow some to profit and generate short-term traffic. However, OKX's mission has never been to sacrifice the interests of retail investors for traffic. We always adhere to neutrality, objectivity, and prudence, and are committed to creating a fair, secure, and transparent market environment. This is both a responsibility to our users and a basic requirement of our global regulatory authorities (Market Surveillance Program). The market is risky, and investment should be cautious. We hope that every user will protect their assets and emotions."
