Strengthen the global leadership team, OKX appoints former Goldman Sachs and McKinsey executive Yuri Mushkin as Global Chief Risk Officer

On October 15, the global trading platform and Web3 technology company OKX announced the appointment of Yuri Mushkin as its Global Chief Risk Officer based in Singapore.

Before joining OKX, Yuri served as a partner at the McKinsey Investment Office (MIO), a global investment consulting firm managing over $20 billion in assets across public and private capital markets. He has more than twenty years of experience in capital markets and risk management, covering both traditional and digital asset sectors, and has held executive positions at multinational companies such as Goldman Sachs and McKinsey. During his tenure at OKX, Mushkin will be responsible for leading the company's global risk strategy and the enterprise risk management function, which operates independently from the business, reporting directly to the CEO and the board.

OKX founder and CEO Star Xu stated, "Strong risk management capabilities have always been our top priority and are part of our DNA. Over the past decade, we have experienced multiple cryptocurrency market cycles and demonstrated our resilience in front of global stakeholders, including leading regulators, financial institutions, and corporate partners. I am pleased to welcome Yuri as our Global Chief Risk Officer. His appointment is part of our ongoing efforts to build products that meet the high expectations of our customers and global stakeholders."

OKX is committed to responsible development on a global scale. On October 10, the company announced that it has officially commenced operations and obtained licensing in the UAE. With this announcement, the company became the first global cryptocurrency firm to offer AED banking services to retail and institutional clients in the UAE.

In September, the company announced that its local entity OKX SG Pte. Ltd. (OKX SG) has obtained a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

In July, OKX designated Malta as its center for the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), which will allow the exchange to offer products and services to over 450 million EU residents in the coming months.

OKX is committed to transparency and publishes its PoR reserve proof monthly.
