OKB is the gas coin of X Layer, the network OKX runs — 21M circulating, all of it unlocked. OKX burned its reserve in August 2025 and ended the buyback.

Sell pressure. Nothing new came out in 90 days: no rewards, no vesting, no new coins bridged in. OKX wallets hold about 19.45M OKB, but those coins are already counted.

Buy pressure. Nothing was taken out either. Network fees of about 974 OKB went to OKX, not to a burn.

Net. Supply stayed flat, and should stay flat next.

OKB has no block reward and no staking emission. X Layer blocks are made by OKX's sequencer, and gas is paid in OKB that already exists. No new OKB was bridged in either: the deposit ledger that lets Ethereum OKB become X Layer OKB read 559,344.6 at both ends of the window, and the reserve that could release new X Layer OKB held nothing.

2. Vesting unlocks
0

Nothing vests. OKB's release schedule ended in 2018, no unlock tracker lists anything left, and circulating supply equals total supply at 21M — there is no locked bucket to open.

3. Foundation + unscheduled unlocks
0

OKX is the one team behind OKB. Wallets labelled OKX on X Layer hold about 19.45M OKB, down from 19.58M at the start of the window; the largest cold wallet alone holds 7.11M. OKX says these match its customers' account balances almost one for one. All of it is already counted as circulating, so coins leaving these wallets add nothing new. Network fees also collect in wallets OKX controls — about 12,853 OKB, unchanged this window.

4. Long-term locked or bankruptcy
0

There is no estate, trustee or long lock releasing OKB. The old OKT chain, whose coins OKX swapped into OKB, closed on Jan 1 2026 — well before this window.

Buy pressure
1. Programmatic buyback
0

The quarterly buyback-and-burn from OKX's profits ended in August 2025, when OKX burned 65.26M OKB from past buybacks and reserves and set the supply at 21M. No buyback has restarted since, and none is announced.

checked · Sep 30 2026
2. Protocol fee burn
0

X Layer gas is not burned. The fees — about 974 OKB this window — collect in two fee wallets that pay out to OKX. On Ethereum the token supply stayed at 429,064.58 from start to end. Coins sent to dead addresses on X Layer rose by only 0.47 OKB, too small to count.

checked · Sep 30 2026
3. Foundation buy
0

No announcement or on-chain flow this window shows OKX buying OKB for the project. Coins moving between OKX wallets and users stay inside the float.

checked · Sep 30 2026
4. New long-term lock
0

Teams that want to open a market on X Layer must first stake OKB, but OKX has not published the amount or the contract, and staked OKB would still count as circulating. So nothing leaves the float here.

#38 · Sep 29 2026

Today, people are talking about OKB for two reasons:

  1. 1
    OKX raised new money at a $25 billion value, with Circle and Ripple joining.

    On Oct 6 2026, OKX said Circle, Ripple and Standard Chartered's SC Ventures put money into the company, with quant firm Qube Research & Technologies as a new investor. The value stayed at $25 billion, the same as when the NYSE's owner ICE put in about $200 million in March, and the size of the new round was not shared. People ask whether closer ties to big finance can bring more trading to OKX, and so more use for OKB.

  2. 2
    OKX launched OKX Money, a separate app for saving and spending digital dollars.

    On Oct 6 2026, OKX showed OKX Money at its event in Singapore. The app turns more than 50 local currencies into dollar stablecoins, aims first at Latin America, Africa, South Asia and the Middle East, and offers up to 10% a year on some USDG balances, under conditions. People ask whether this new app will bring new users to the OKX family, and what it could mean for OKB over time.

Should you buy OKB? Questions about OKB

Should I buy OKB now, or wait?

OKB or BNB: which exchange coin looks better?

BNB, by a little. On Oct 10 2026 BNB scores 8.5/10 and shrinks its supply −1.24% in 90 days, while OKB scores 7.5/10 with flat supply. BNB is also about 41 times bigger ($103.5B vs $2.52B), but faces a new US probe reported Sep 22 2026. Our supply-and-demand read for OKB stays positive.

Why has OKB been going up?

Two things likely help OKB. Money locked on X Layer, OKX's own chain, rose from $5.7M to $160M since Jul 2025, and big finance firms keep buying into OKX. With 0.00% new supply in 90 days, new demand can push the price more easily. That leaves OKB's long-run signal at positive, by supply and demand.

Should I sell OKB or hold?

Today the signal is positive. Supply and demand would point the other way for OKB if new supply jumps (today 0.00% in 90 days), or demand falls from moderate.

Is OKB worth investing in for the long term?

On our framework OKB scores 7.5/10 (Oct 11 2026), with supply 4.5/5 (flat) and demand 3/5. In the next year OKB's supply changes 0.00%, so the long-run signal reads positive.

What is the best time to invest in OKB?

Every answer here applies basic economic theory — the law of supply and demand — to this coin's data. It is not financial advice. How we read every coin →

How does MrNasdog judge every coin, and why is 0.00% shown in green?

We look at two things, half each: supply and demand. Fewer new coins mean less selling pressure. A meme coin scores 1.5 at most on supply: its team got its coins for free, so no new supply does not make it safe. We also show each coin's age, with a warning when it is younger than 1 year. Demand looks at how much people want the coin now and how much buying could come later. Price Drivers (Beta) are the 2 or 3 things that can move one coin's price that supply and demand miss; they have no score. OKB supply is not growing (0.00% in the next 90 days), so it shows in green. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
