BNB vs 
OKB
Exchange tokens live or die on the exchange behind them. BNB is the largest by far and has outgrown its origins, powering BNB Chain with a substantial independent ecosystem; OKB is tighter to OKX itself, mainly delivering fee discounts and access to exchange products. The comparison is really about how much of each token's value comes from a functioning blockchain rather than a business.
