OKX Introduces CeDeFi Trading to Simplify Access to Decentralized Markets

OKX launches a new CeDeFi feature that simplifies access to DEX markets, boosts liquidity, and lets traders manage centralized and decentralized assets in one app.

OKX Introduces CeDeFi Trading to Simplify Access to Decentralized Markets

OKX Exchange is rolling out CeDeFi, a next-generation DEX trading feature inside the OKX app designed to make decentralized markets far more accessible. With DEX mode enabled, users can instantly reach millions of tokens across Solana, Base, and X Layer — without switching wallets or juggling networks, the company stated.

A self-custody wallet is created automatically, letting users retain full control of their keys and assets.

Why OKX Says CeDeFi Matters for the Future of Trading

“OKX was founded with the goal of making global markets accessible through reliable and transparent technology. CeDeFi trading further advances this idea, combining the efficiency of centralized systems with the openness of decentralized networks,” said Star Xu, founder of OKX.

According to the exchange, decentralized markets have expanded rapidly, bringing new ecosystems and applications across multiple blockchains. But accessing them often requires multiple wallets, network tokens for gas fees, and constant transfers between chains—steps that introduce risk, complexity, and potential slippage.

OKX says CeDeFi removes these obstacles by giving traders direct, secure access to DEX markets while maintaining self-custody, benefiting from deeper liquidity, and using automated best-price execution across more than 100 liquidity pools.

With the upgrade, users can toggle seamlessly between centralized order books and decentralized markets in the same app. After setting up access keys, traders can view real-time token data and route their trades automatically to the best available price.

Key Features of the New CeDeFi Experience

The OKX team highlighted the following:

  • Access to multiple blockchains: Trade millions of tokens across X Layer, Solana, and Base, including new assets not yet listed on centralized platforms.
  • One app for all markets: Manage both centralized and decentralized activity in a single portfolio without switching environments.
  • Best Price Routing: Automatic routing across 100+ liquidity pools ensures optimal execution for every trade.
  • Easy setup: Self-custody wallets activate automatically in DEX mode and can be secured with access keys—no seed phrase required.
  • Streamlined self-custody: Full control of assets through key-based wallets with online recovery support.
