OSL Group announced on August 5, 2024, that Kevin Cui had become the Hong Kong-listed digital asset firm's chief executive1. The company posted the news itself on X. “OSL is thrilled to announce Kevin Cui has been appointed as the new Group CEO,” the post said, adding that he brought “a stellar track record from leading roles at a top digital asset trading platform and senior executive positions across various industries”. A filing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange gave the fuller change: Chairman Pan Zhiyong would cease serving as chief executive on August 5, 2024, while keeping his roles as chairman and executive director2.

The move
OSL's Hong Kong filing set out what each man would do next. Pan would “focus on the Company's corporate strategy, board governance, overseas mergers and acquisitions and government collaborations,” while Cui took over as chief executive with effect from August 5, 20242. The filing described Cui, 46 at the time, as “a seasoned leader with over 20 years of experience in the Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 sectors” who had held senior roles at Bybit, FangDuoDuo and Google. He held both a bachelor's and a master's degree in engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the filing said.
OSL before and after
Pan kept his seat at the company. He stayed as chairman and executive director, shifting his attention to strategy and deal-making instead of daily operations2. Cui stepped into a role the filing credited to his record managing "early-stage financing" and leading companies "through IPOs," framing him as fit for OSL's next phase in a changing regulatory environment.
What came next
Cui still held the chief executive title on August 19, 2026, when CU Today quoted him on OSL's push into payments for artificial intelligence agents. “Agentic Commerce is rapidly emerging, and we are proactively embracing Agentic AI to empower the massive wave of economic activity ahead,” Cui said, identified in the report as "OSL Group Executive Director and CEO"3. He tied that push to OSL's existing strengths. “The core of this economic activity still relies on distribution, liquidity, and infrastructure, and that is exactly where OSL has focused its strengths,” Cui said.
