Cryptocurrency users are increasingly prioritizing control, security, and seamless asset management across platforms. In response, OKX, a leading global crypto exchange and Web3 ecosystem, has introduced two major upgrades designed to empower users: the Quick Transfer feature and native Ledger hardware wallet compatibility. These innovations streamline the movement of digital assets between centralized and decentralized environments, reinforcing OKX’s commitment to user sovereignty in an evolving digital economy.
Introducing Quick Transfer: Seamless Asset Movement
The newly launched Quick Transfer feature allows users to instantly move assets between the OKX centralized exchange and the OKX Web3 Wallet — all within a single interface. This integration eliminates the need for manual address copying, network selection, or waiting through multiple confirmation steps.
Currently available on the OKX Android mobile app, with iOS support rolling out soon, Quick Transfer enhances usability for millions of users who navigate both centralized finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) services daily. Whether you're trading volatile tokens on the exchange or staking stablecoins in DeFi protocols, moving funds is now faster and more intuitive than ever.

Ledger Hardware Wallet Support Coming to Mobile
In another milestone for self-custody, OKX will integrate Ledger hardware wallet support directly into its mobile app later this month. This makes OKX the first multi-chain wallet to offer full Ledger compatibility on mobile — a significant leap forward in combining enterprise-grade security with everyday convenience.
Users will be able to:
- Manage assets across 40+ blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BSC, and Aptos
- Interact securely with decentralized applications (dApps)
- Trade on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) using smart routing for optimal pricing
- Buy, sell, and display NFTs from a unified interface
- Access yield-generating opportunities in DeFi without compromising security
Currently, Ledger and Trezor integration is already live on the OKX Wallet Web Extension, giving desktop users a secure gateway to Web3. The upcoming mobile expansion ensures that users aren’t forced to choose between security and accessibility.
What Is Self-Custody — And Why Does It Matter?
Self-custody refers to the practice of holding your cryptocurrency directly, without relying on a third party like an exchange. When you self-custody, only you control your private keys — the cryptographic proof that grants access to your funds.
With rising concerns over platform insolvency and regulatory uncertainty in the crypto space, self-custody has become not just a preference but a necessity for many investors. According to industry analysts, the number of self-custodied wallets has grown by over 60% since 2020.
Lennix Lai, Director of Financial Markets at OKX, emphasized this shift:
“Self-custody has been rising in importance in the crypto sector for some time, and this has accelerated in recent months. At OKX, we’re building a unified experience across Web3 and centralized services in a single app. Quick Transfer enables easy-to-use asset transfer and ensures a seamless and secure experience, while Ledger compatibility empowers customers to take self-custody a step further by utilizing hardware wallets.”
