According to the OX.FUN post on X, investment will be used for product iteration, team building, market expansion, and other platform development goals.

According to the platform, OX.FUN was launched in January 2024 as a gamified <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/exchange/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">exchange</a>, adopting an innovative dual-token model in which traders earn OX coin for closing winning trades and a secondary token, MILK, for losing trades. The OX, named as “centerpiece” of the exchange, is serving as collateral on the platform and the reward currency. 
The platform team also claims that since its launch, OX.FUN has received $1.5 billion in deposits and $20 billion in trading volumes.

OX.FUN is not the first attempt by Su Zhu to promote a new crypto project after the scandalous collapse of 3AC in the summer of 2022. At the beginning of 2023, Su Zhu and his partner Kyle Davies <a href="https://crypto.news/new-3ac-exchange-launch-comes-under-fire/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced</a> the launch of the OPNX cryptocurrency exchange. Just a year later, in early February, the exchange <a href="https://crypto.news/another-failed-crypto-venture-by-su-zhu-and-kyle-davies-opnx-is-shutting-down/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sent out</a> a letter to users announcing its imminent closure. OPNX management “strongly” advised clients to close all positions by Feb. 7 and withdraw funds by Feb. 14. 
Su Zhu, facing an attack from creditors after the collapse of 3AC, <a href="https://crypto.news/breaking-3acs-su-zhu-reportedly-arrested-in-singapore/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">was arrested</a> in Singapore in September 2023. In December 2023, he reportedly <a href="https://crypto.news/3ac-co-founder-su-zhu-probed-in-singapore-court-over-funds-collapse/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">faced</a> his first court questioning in Singapore court regarding the firm’s collapse.
