TLDR
- OKX bought Claude Enterprise for all employees, according to a WuBlockchain report.
- Bybit made Claude and Open Claw available to employees under CEO Ben Zhou.
- Bitget told staff to meet internal daily AI usage targets within one quarter.
- Some exchanges now require over 90% of code to use AI assistance.
- Token use on AI platforms is being tracked as a staff KPI at some CEXs.
Centralized exchanges are pushing AI use deeper into daily work. The shift now reaches coding, research, and internal productivity.
A report shared by WuBlockchain said OKX, Bybit, and Bitget have each raised internal AI use. The reported changes show a wider race among exchanges to build faster with AI tools. Some firms are also linking staff reviews to AI activity.
Exchanges move AI tools from pilot stage to daily work
 OKX bought Claude Enterprise for all employees CoinCentral reported. The move points to company-wide access rather than limited team testing. It also suggests AI is now part of routine work across departments.
The same report said Bybit made Claude and Open Claw available to all employees. The rollout was described as being driven by CEO Ben Zhou. That places AI access close to the center of Bybit’s internal operations.
CEXs are internally enhancing their employees' use of AI.

Bitget has also taken a direct approach, based on the report. Staff were told to meet company targets for daily AI use within one quarter. That sets a measurable pace for adoption rather than informal use.
These steps show a clear change in how exchanges manage workplace tools. AI is no longer treated as optional software at some firms. Instead, it is being built into employee routines and team goals.
Coding targets and token use are becoming internal benchmarks
Some exchanges now require more than 90% of code to be written with AI help. That claim shows how far AI-assisted development has moved inside parts of the sector. It also reflects pressure to speed up software output.
Reports also said token consumption is being ranked as a KPI at some firms. In practice, that means usage volume can become part of staff measurement. The focus is not only on access, but also on repeat use.
That approach has drawn mixed reactions online. One social media comment said, “required ai coding sounds efficient until you debug someone else’s generated mess”. Another post compared AI token tracking to “2021 gas wars”.
Even so, exchanges appear willing to test strict internal standards. They are using AI for writing, coding, and research, and they are measuring employee activity more closely. That gives management direct data on workplace adoption.
Bybit expands products as AI becomes part of a wider growth strategy
Bybit’s AI push comes alongside new business moves in several markets. Bybit EU launched new fiat-to-PLN and crypto-to-PLN pairs, including BTC/PLN and ETH/PLN. Users in Poland can also fund accounts with local methods such as BLIK.
The exchange is also running its USD1 Ecosystem Carnival from April 22 to May 22, 2026. The campaign includes a 10,000,000 WLFI prize pool. New pairs include BTC/USD1, ETH/USD1, and USDC/USD1.
Bybit introduced Premier Loans on April 20, 2026, for larger clients. The product offers multi-asset collateralization and starts at 300,000 USDT. It is aimed at enterprise-grade lending demand.
At the same time, Bybit released its MCP for an AI trading layer. Reports also said Ben Zhou recently met the UK FCA and the House of Lords. Together, these moves show AI adoption is developing beside product, market, and policy activity.
