$OKB Massive Burn: 65 million permanently disappeared, total supply locked at 21 million
On August 13, 2025, OKX announced the destruction of 65,256,712 OKB, permanently locking the total supply at 21 million (consistent with Bitcoin's total supply). The market reacted strongly: the price of OKB surged from $48 to $142, an increase of over 195%.
Three Major Strategic Upgrades Anchor Value
Absolute Scarcity
Abolishing the quarterly deflation model, implementing a hard cap on total supply through smart contracts, and enhancing storage attributes.
X Layer Ecosystem Empowerment
After the upgrade, TPS reaches 5000, Gas fees decrease, and OKB becomes the only Gas token on-chain, with all ecosystem interactions consuming OKB.
Resource Integration
OKT Chain is officially retired, and holders can exchange OKB monthly, driving ecological value towards OKB.
Future Challenges and Opportunities
✅ Positive: Scarcity + X Layer essential demand builds a dual engine of value
⚠️ Risk: After short-term explosive growth, there may be profit-taking pressure, and long-term value depends on the implementation of the X Layer ecosystem
⏳ Key Indicators: X Layer on-chain activity, Gas consumption, DeFi protocol TVL
