OKB Soars 90% on 93% Burn and X Layer Migration
OKB surged over 90% in one week after OKX completed a 93% token burn and migrated 90% of OKB to its new X Layer network. The burn removed roughly 65 million OKB, halving supply and capping total supply at 21 million. Spot trading volume jumped to $7.7 billion in 24 hours, while futures volume rose 396% to $200 million and open interest climbed 195% to $17.5 million. On-chain metrics show rising demand and social activity. Technically, OKB trades in an ascending channel between $167 and $195, with support at $150–155 and resistance at $200/$250. An RSI of 92 signals overbought but confirms bullish momentum. The X Layer upgrade, powered by Polygon zkEVM, boosts OKB’s role as the sole gas token and enhances ecosystem utility. Traders will watch if OKB can sustain current levels or break key resistance amid ongoing US IPO speculation.
Bullish
The combined effects of a large-scale token burn reducing supply by over 90%, high trading and futures volume spikes, and the rollout of the X Layer upgrade have driven strong buying interest, leading to short-term price rallies. The technicals, including a rising price channel and an RSI of 92, confirm bullish momentum despite overbought conditions. In the long term, the capped supply model, enhanced utility as the sole gas token, and potential US IPO underpin sustained demand and market stability, supporting further upside for OKB.
