Our Latest Livery Design with McLaren
Written by Haider Rafique, OKX CMO In 1968, McLaren’s M7A car changed everything - it brought home their first F1 victory and introduced the now-iconic papaya. Back then McLaren got off the ground with sponsors one could regard as "old money". It was this marriage between Bruce McLaren and the commercial partners that defined a generation of racing. Now in 2025, a 'new money' is forming to create another defining moment. It starts with our new money app, standing side by side with McLaren as the team looks back on its history to forge a new legacy. This time we have chosen to help fans relive that era while creating our own mark with our partnership with McLaren.

By Haider Rafique, OKX Managing Partner & CMO Just a few years ago, stepping into onchain felt overwhelming. Managing private keys was intimidating, moving assets across chains was risky, and earning yield was something only advanced users could figure out.
