Long-term growth is expected, as regulatory compliance sparks confidence among investors and institutions, fostering a robust European cryptocurrency market.
The launch of regulated exchanges by OKX in Germany and Poland represents a significant step in solidifying the company's position in the European cryptocurrency market. The anticipated increase in liquidity and institutional investment may contribute to further sector development.
