OKX Response to the reminder for secondary identity verification: routine KYC updates, not indicative of an account abnormality
PANews October 16 reports that OKX founder Star stated that OKX periodically verifies and updates users’ identity information based on the specific circumstances of each account. When an account has been open for 1 years, 3 years, or 5 when identification documents expire, users may need to complete identity verification again. Star said this is a routine procedure for global financial institutions to fulfill their KYC(know your customer) obligations and does not mean that an account is abnormal. Users only need to truthfully update their information as instructed by the official notice. Previously, a user registered in mainland China said on X that they had received a OKX secondary verification reminder, questioned whether it was related to tax requirements, and reported being unable to close the account.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
KYC means “know your customer,” under which financial institutions periodically confirm users’ identities. The report states that secondary verification may be triggered by the account age or the expiration of identification documents, and does not mean that the account is abnormal.
Why it matters to readers
Users may need to resubmit their identity information; the available evidence can only confirm OKX the founder’s relevant statement and cannot confirm the specific users’ tax-related connection or the outcome of account closure.
If you receive a verification reminder, distinguish between routine identity updates and an account abnormality, and check the official notice.
Risks and unknowns
The report does not provide a direct link to Star’s original post.
It cannot be confirmed based solely on the available evidence whether the verification is related to tax requirements.
It cannot be confirmed whether the user who reported being unable to close the account subsequently completed verification or closed the account.
