OKX Unveils Rubix to Help Financial Institutions Offer Crypto Services Without Heavy Lifting
- OKX introduced Rubix, a modular solution enabling regulated institutions to integrate digital-asset services without overhauling systems.
- The platform connects trading, custody, and settlement to existing workflows, helping firms expand into digital assets under compliance control.
- Rubix is now live across multiple regions, offering scalable infrastructure that reduces complexity and regulatory friction.
OKX has introduced Rubix, a modular workflow platform designed to help regulated financial institutions integrate digital-asset services into their existing operations without rebuilding infrastructure or adding compliance risk.
The Rubix system acts as a flexible layer connecting digital-asset functionality, including trading, custody, settlement and collateral management, directly into banks’ and brokers’ existing front-, middle-, and back-office processes. Institutions can select specific components that match their governance and risk frameworks, ensuring compatibility with regional regulatory regimes.
By embedding these modules, institutions can expand into areas such as digital-asset trading, lending and asset management while maintaining full control of their client experience and policies. Rubix provides access to deep liquidity through central-limit-order-book markets and OTC RFQ options, alongside post-trade settlement models designed to improve capital efficiency.

Expanding Services Safely
Simon Ren, Senior Vice President of OKX Institutional, said that while demand from institutions continues to grow, many have been “held back by complexity and compliance.” Rubix, he explained, removes these barriers by allowing each institution to deploy it as a tailored workflow that fits within its own governance structure. While clients design and oversee their individual operating models, OKX supplies the regulated and scalable market infrastructure that supports them.
Rubix removes those barriers with a modular, interoperable solution that integrates into established front-, middle- and back-office processes.
Simon Ren, Senior Vice President, OKX Institutional OKX described Rubix as a milestone toward connecting traditional finance with on-chain markets, aiming to lower both operational and compliance friction. By reducing infrastructure costs and regulatory overhead, the company expects more institutions to offer regulated crypto exposure under their own governance frameworks.
Rubix is now live with institutional partners across Europe, APAC, the UAE and LATAM, with further onboarding underway.
