The Reason Behind OKB Price Plummet Still uncertain

During the recent “power outage” incident involving OKB, OKX’s founder and CEO, Mr. Star Xu, expressed that he is uncertain about the situation. He mentioned that the team is looking into the price variations and will inform the community after getting a clear understanding.

The OKX platform introduced the OKB token, an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum mainnet, in May 2018. As of now, it ranks 28th on CoinGecko and 26th on CoinMarketCap in terms of market capitalization. The total supply of 300 million OKB tokens was minted in 2019.

Possible Correlation Between Bitcoin and OKB Price Drop

The sudden drop in OKB’s price coincided with Bitcoin’s drop below the 39000 level. The OKX team has launched an inquiry into the matter, though the reasons behind these fluctuations remain unknown.

Bitcoin has slightly rebounded since. Interestingly, such Bitcoin movements are considered force majeure events.
