OKX is under the spotlight after X user @captain0bunny said in a Jan. 11 post that the exchange froze 40,000 U on accounts tied to their activity and framed the funds as urgent medical money, appealing for the restrictions to be lifted.

In response, the OKX-related X account @star_okx said the platform requires real-name use and that buying and selling accounts violates its rules. The post argued that if someone buys another person’s account and the original holder later provides complete, valid identity information and claims ownership, OKX should rely on the party that can prove the account identity, not a party that cannot provide any identity materials and only asserts a claim.
试想这样一种情况：如果你购买了他人的账户，而原账户持有人随后能够提供身份证明等有效、完整的身份信息，并明确主张该账户归其所有，同时要求平台重置账户登录、提币等权限——在这种情况下，OKX应当相信能够证明账户身份的一方，还是无法提供任何身份信息、仅凭个人主张的一方？… https://t.co/ICIbV9mPPT

With the dispute now public, the next watch item is whether OKX clarifies the evidence standard and escalation process for account-ownership conflicts triggered by illicit KYC purchases, and whether the complainant can meet that bar.
