Runes Coming to OKX: Roadmap Confirms

     

A major development spotted silently on the OKX website: Runes integration is on the horizon.

Global cryptocurrency exchange giant OKX has quietly updated its website with a new “Inscription Roadmap”, revealing a key detail that could shape the future of Bitcoin-based token standards: Runes support is listed as “Coming Soon.”

With no official announcements posted on OKX’s X account, the update has gone largely unnoticed — but its implications are significant for the evolving ecosystem of Bitcoin-native assets.

Runes Support Hidden in Plain Sight

The newly published roadmap is structured into three sections: Create, Manage, and Trade, covering multiple blockchain inscription standards.

Create (Live): Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon inscriptions + 20 more chains.

Manage (Live): Ordinals (BRC-20), Stamps (SRC20), Ethscriptions (ETHS), Atomicals (ARC20), Rune Alpha.

Trade (Live): BRC20, SPL20, APT20, ETHS, ARC20.

And under the “Coming Soon” section of both “Manage” and “Trade,” the roadmap lists one key addition: Runes

This subtle update confirms that OKX is actively working on integrating support for the Runes protocol, which has quickly gained traction in the Bitcoin inscription space.

No Social Media Mentions — Just the Website Update

While the roadmap is live on the OKX website, the exchange has not made any public statements or posts on social platforms regarding Runes. This points to a quiet rollout strategy, possibly aimed at preparing backend infrastructure before an official launch announcement.

For developers and users deeply involved in the inscription and Ordinals ecosystem, OKX’s support could represent a critical milestone in the adoption of Runes-based assets.

What This Means for OKX

OKX’s plan to integrate the Runes protocol could mark a significant step toward institutional adoption of this emerging standard. If fully implemented, users may be able to manage, trade, and possibly even create Runes-based tokens directly through OKX.

This move positions OKX as one of the early leading platforms within the Runes ecosystem.
