Fact Check
The evidence strongly supports the statement's truthfulness. Multiple official primary sources from OKX, including its main, US-specific, and Turkish domains, consistently reference the existence of an OKX DEX service. Crucially, articles on the US-specific version of the site discuss features of DEX trading, and other pages display location-aware banners prompting users to switch to the United States site for available products. This creates a very strong implication that the DEX service is part of the US product offering. This implication is directly and explicitly confirmed by a relevant third-party news source, which reports on the launch of OKX's DEX services specifically for US traders. The evidence is consistent across all provided sources, with no contradictions found. The combination of direct confirmation from a secondary source and strong, corroborating evidence from multiple high-authority primary sources makes the statement highly credible.
Summary

According to OKX’s official announcement, the exchange has launched a built-in decentralized exchange allowing users to directly purchase Solana, X Layer, and Base tokens using USDT or USDC into self-custody wallets. This integration combines the convenience of centralized exchange access with full asset control, removing the need for mnemonics or private keys. OKX will subsidize all gas fees, enabling gas-free transactions across supported networks.
