July 9, 2025 – Cryptocurrency exchange OKX has partnered with stablecoin issuer Circle to introduce zero-fee conversions between USDC and the US dollar, aiming to streamline stablecoin liquidity and improve fiat on- and off-ramp experiences for users worldwide.
The collaboration allows OKX users to directly convert USDC to USD and vice versa without fees, removing a key barrier that has historically added friction to stablecoin usage. The new service is available on 12 blockchain networks supported by OKX, including Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, and Avalanche.
“The most significant update is that users can now directly convert USD to USDC and back within the OKX platform, offering a seamless and transparent on and off-ramping experience,” said Kash Razzaghi, Circle’s chief business officer.
OKX’s chief innovation officer Jason Lau emphasized that the partnership eliminates trading fees and product design limitations that previously hindered stablecoin usability. “Now, we’ve enabled 1:1 USD-to-USDC conversions integrated with banking partners,” he said.
While the partnership does not impact network transaction fees, it addresses core infrastructure challenges such as orderbook depth and fiat accessibility, making it easier for users to move between traditional finance and digital assets.
