Cryptocurrency exchange OKX has expanded its presence in Europe by launching licensed trading platforms in Germany and Poland, allowing users to access over 270 crypto assets.
Launch of OKX Exchange in Europe
OKX, an international cryptocurrency exchange, has launched fully regulated services in Germany and Poland. This new launch is aimed at strengthening the company's position in the European market, which is increasingly interested in digital assets. The platforms offer over 270 digital assets and more than 60 euro trading pairs. OKX also provides localized support and tools designed for both retail and institutional users.
MiCA License and New Opportunities
The launch of the exchanges was made possible by receiving a MiCA regulatory license confirmed earlier this year. MiCA regulates digital asset services in the EU and requires exchanges to register with national regulators, such as BaFin in Germany, allowing OKX to operate legally across all 30 EEA countries. This license enables OKX to scale its operations in line with European standards on customer protection and transparency.
Trust and Transparency in OKX's Operations
OKX emphasizes transparency by releasing 31 consecutive monthly Proof of Reserves reports to validate its asset holdings. This practice reassures users about the platform's solvency and risk management practices. In March 2025, the company temporarily shut down its DeFi services in the EU in response to regulatory scrutiny. With the launch of centralized platforms, OKX returns to Europe with a stronger regulatory foundation and localized products, including staking options and Earn tools.
OKX's expansion into Germany and Poland highlights the importance of regulatory compliance and transparency in the digital asset industry, which can enhance user trust and drive further growth in the European crypto market.
