Who she is

Alysa Xu is a Chinese executive whose career was built across traditional finance and blockchain research. She started at China Fortune Land Development (2010-2013), working on the company's listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, then was Assistant General Manager of the private equity division of Zhongrong International Trust (2013-2016), handling private placements and NEEQ funds. From 2016 to 2019 she led research at the Tianfeng Securities Blockchain Research Center, focusing on fintech and compliance in the equity and insurance markets, before joining OKEx as Chief Strategy Officer. She has held positions in Chinese research bodies and blockchain committees (China Blockchain Applications Research Center, Chinese Institute of Electronics, CGCA). She holds a master's in Economics from Renmin University and an EMBA from Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business.

Current role

Her last known position is Chief Strategy Officer of OKEx/OKX, but her documented public appearances in that role (AMAs, interviews) date from the 2020-2022 period and there are no recent public confirmations of the role in OKX's official communications. It should be recalled that OKEx changed its name to OKX in January 2022.

Career path

  • 2010-2016: traditional finance in China, between China Fortune Land Development (SSE listing) and Zhongrong International Trust (private equity).
  • 2016-2019: head of research at the Tianfeng Securities Blockchain Research Center.
  • From around 2019: Chief Strategy Officer of OKEx (later OKX), with parallel appointments in Chinese blockchain research bodies.

Recent developments and controversies

There are no established controversies against her, nor verifiable public developments from 2022 onwards: the salient feature is precisely the absence of recent traces, which calls for caution about her current role.

FAQ

Is Alysa Xu still Chief Strategy Officer of OKX? It cannot be confirmed: the last documented public activity in that role dates from the 2020-2022 period and OKX's recent communications provide no confirmation. The editorial team is verifying.

What is the difference between OKEx and OKX? None: it is the same exchange, which in January 2022 changed its name from OKEx to OKX as part of an overall rebranding.
