OKX Secures MiCA License, Expands into European Market

OKX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has officially expanded its operations into the European market, securing a MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) license. This significant achievement allows OKX to provide fully regulated crypto services to over 400 million customers across the European Economic Area (EEA).

The European hub, based in Malta, offers localized solutions tailored to regional users. These include Euro-based trading pairs and secure, accessible payment methods. OKX's MiCA license, obtained on January 27, 2025, enables the company to operate within European Union borders through passporting rules, demonstrating its commitment to transparent and compliant practices.

OKX's platform offers a wide range of trading options, including OTC trading, spot trading, and bot trading. Users can access over 240 cryptocurrency tokens and more than 300 trading pairs, including 60 Euro-based options. The platform also provides free Euro deposits and withdrawals, along with the ability to purchase crypto using cards and regional payment systems.

This expansion is part of OKX's global business strategy, which saw the company enter seven domestic regions and obtain four new licensing approvals in 2024. The MiCA passporting system enables OKX to expand its operations through trusted and regulated platform services, increasing accessibility to crypto finance for users across Europe.

OKX's commitment to regulatory compliance and user-friendly platforms has positioned it as a top player in the European crypto market. The organization is dedicated to increasing crypto adoption by implementing secure and transparent, accessible services for users. As part of its ongoing global expansion, OKX aims to connect with local communities by establishing partnerships and organizing meet-ups, along with special rewards programs.
