Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Joins OKX Crypto Exchange Board
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who resigned in 2021 amid sexual misconduct allegations that never led to charges, has made a dramatic career move by joining the board of directors of OKX, a major crypto trading exchange. OKX founder and CEO Star Xu announced the appointment on July 20, 2026, noting Cuomo had been a trusted advisor since 2023. Cuomo's deep leadership experience is seen as key to OKX's goal of becoming the world's most trustworthy large digital asset exchange. The move follows Cuomo's failed 2025 run for New York City mayor. Additionally, on June 22, OKX and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), parent of the NYSE, announced a joint venture to build infrastructure for tokenized financial products, to be co-chaired by ICE and Cuomo. Cuomo had previously advised OKX during a federal probe that resulted in a $504 million penalty for operating an unlicensed money transmitting business.
