OKX: Limits Claude Access in Hong Kong After Suspension

OKX has blocked staff in Hong Kong and those traveling through China from accessing Anthropic's Claude model after its corporate account faced a brief suspension, according to a statement from @star_okx. The exchange, which maintains major offices across California, New York, London, Dubai, Malta, Istanbul, Singapore, and Hong Kong but avoids mainland China operations due to regulatory pressures, emphasized its AI-native approach with monthly spend of USD 6–8 million on leading foundation models and its internal platform Oli that powers over 75% of weekly product releases. OKX is tightening enterprise LLM controls to align with Anthropic's geographic rules while advancing okx.ai for one-person company workflows, highlighting the growing crypto exchange AI integration challenges and foundation model compliance demands in the sector.
