The founder of OKX, Star Xu, has reflected on his past skepticism towards Ethereum (ETH), which he once called a 'shitcoin'.

In an interview with Merov Crypto, Xu revealed that in 2017, Vitalik Buterin approached him to list ETH on OKX. However, Xu rejected the proposal due to being overly cautious after the success of Litecoin's listing.

Xu admitted his mistake and acknowledged Ethereum's strong performance and adoption over the years.
