Kate Cooper

Kate Cooper is CEO of OKX Australia, leading a regulated digital asset platform through market volatility, regulatory scrutiny, and accelerating AI adoption. She also serves as Co-Chair of the Digital Economy Council of Australia, working across industry, policy, and financial infrastructure.
From inside regulated markets, Kate focuses on how institutions make sound decisions when technology changes faster than humans do. As AI becomes embedded in trading, settlement becomes programmable, and financial systems evolve in real time, her work centres on accountability under automation, clear decision rights, and infrastructure that earns trust before it is tested.
She is the author of EDGE: A Field Guide for Navigating Tech-Driven Change, written for leaders who want to retain judgement and authorship as systems move faster and stakes rise.
