OKB has significantly expanded its real-world use cases through partnerships with leading payment solution providers such as Alchemy Pay and Now Payments. These collaborations enable OKB to be used for payments of goods and services globally, including online services like BitTorrent subscriptions. Historical data shows that as of May 2023, OKB's payment services had been launched in hundreds of businesses in Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and other regions, covering various consumption scenarios such as hotel bookings, phone bills, gas bills, online streaming subscriptions, in-game items, and live stream gifts, reaching a wide user base.

X Layer Integration and Tokenomics Upgrade
In August 2025, OKB underwent a significant tokenomics upgrade, permanently fixing its total supply at 21 million tokens by burning over 65 million tokens in a single event. This burn aimed to enhance the token's scarcity. More importantly, OKB is now the native Gas token for X Layer, OKX's Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 network. This means that OKB's value is directly linked to the adoption and expansion of X Layer in areas such as Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Real World Assets (RWA), and Meme coins, marking a shift from a primarily exchange-centric utility to a model combining exchange and native L2 utility.
