On August 13, 2025, OKX announced two major decisions:
1️⃣ Destroy 65 million OKB, with total supply permanently locked at 21 million (on par with BTC's total supply)
2️⃣ Comprehensive upgrade of X Layer, OKB becomes the only on-chain Gas token
Market suddenly erupts
▸ OKB price $48→$142 (3 hours +195%)
▸ On-chain Gas fees surge 8 times, withdrawals delayed on exchanges
The logic behind the three-knife reform
① Absolute scarcity
• Cancel quarterly destruction mechanism
• Smart contract permanently locks 21 million cap
→ Benchmarking Bitcoin's narrative of storing value
② Binding of the X Layer ecosystem
• TPS raised to 5000, Gas cost reduced by 70%
• All on-chain transactions must consume OKB
• From August 15, bridge services will be operated in a decentralized manner
③ OKTChain decommissioned
• Old chain OKT can be exchanged 1:1 for OKB
• All resources focused on the X Layer ecosystem
Cool thinking amidst the frenzy
✓ Short-term benefits: Weekly bullish engulfing pattern established
⚠️ Long-term challenge: The X Layer ecosystem needs to inherit the value of OKB
▸ The implementation of DeFi/RWA applications is key
▸ Gas consumption determines actual support
