Crypto exchange OKEx said it plans to launch a decentralized exchange on its own blockchain.
Friday that its operations team has been developing a blockchain called OKChain, which will provide the underlying tech for its "First" decentralized exchange, OKDEx.
Due to demand, the exchange said it will put OKB onto an ethereum ERC-20 standard blockchain by the end of April, and will migrate all tokens to OKChain later and once the new network is "Stable."
It seems a decentralized exchange is the latest must-have accessory for exchanges.

Its DEX for public testing last month, allowing users to create wallets and interact with the trading platform's interface.
Last month, the exchange also announced a trading competition.
Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange Huobi is going a step further, announcing.
A plan to evolve into a standalone decentralized exchange last June.
