Delivering Secure Solution for Self-Custody Solution

Conventional self-custody solutions pose substantial risks. Specifically, the loss of a private in this respect could lead to irreversible fund losses. For instance, up to 14-19% of the total Bitcoin ($BTC) has been completely lost because of mishandled private keys. Keeping this in view, OKX Pay offers a secure private key management by splitting it into two parts. One of them is stored in the passkey wallet of the user while the other half of the private key is protected by OKX.

As per OKX, OKX Pay also streamlines crypto transfers by supporting the widely utilized $USDC and $USDT coins. Hence, the users can make rapid transfers without any limits or paying any fees. Moreover, the “silent rewards” is a new feature of OKX Pay to automatically create yield on consumer deposits. Additionally, this does not require clients to lock assets or do active management.
