Decrypt crypto

By Guilherme Sacamone, CEO OKX Brazil We believe that cryptocurrency should be practical, empowering, and accessible as part of everyday life. Today, I’m thrilled to share the realization of that vision for our customers in Brazil with the launch of OKX Pay and OKX Card all within OKX. Stablecoins are a global phenomenon that empower individual users worldwide to easily access real-world assets with ease. However, existing solutions largely serve institutions and crypto-native audiences. The average Brazilian who isn’t a crypto enthusiast still turns to high cost physical dollar brokers whenever they’re concerned about the trajectory of the Brazilian Real or planning an international trip. The lack of a simple, intuitive solution with stablecoins at the center of the experience has kept most Brazilians out of this global movement and we want to change that. Our launch is designed to put stablecoins at the heart of our strategy of helping Brazilians access, save, send, pay, and earn in a simple, cost-efficient way.

Introducing the Agent Payments Protocol - the open standard for agent commerce, by OKX Onchain OS. In the past few months, AI agents moved from answering questions to running workflows, managing business processes, and acting autonomously on behalf of users. The bottleneck shifted from intelligence to commerce - not just paying, but the full cycle of doing business: quoting, negotiating, escrowing funds, metering usage, settling, and resolving disputes (escrow, dispute resolution coming soon).

Our latest OKX Insights survey found that 49% of respondents say they've moved further into crypto since January 2026, and 90% express concerns about dollar erosion. Dollar anxiety is no longer a fringe view. American crypto investors are expressing concern about the future purchasing power of the US dollar, and changes in how they allocate their portfolios may reflect that.
