Celebrating 250 years of independence.

“Compliance is not just about obtaining a licence. It is about building a culture where governance, risk management, transparency, and customer protection are embedded into every decision we make.”

[Star_OKX @star_okx]

Eight years ago, in 2018, OKX began building our European business.

Over the past eight years, we have invested heavily in products, technology, governance, risk management, and regulatory engagement. We have worked closely with regulators across Europe to help shape the next generation of digital finance.

The journey has not always been perfect. Like every fast-growing company, we have encountered gaps, made mistakes, and faced intense regulatory scrutiny. When that happened, we addressed the issues, accepted responsibility, learned from them, and strengthened our controls and governance.

Today, OKX is proud to be the first company in the European Union to receive a MiCA licence, while also holding authorization for the broadest range of regulated crypto services under the MiCA framework.

Compliance is not just about obtaining a licence. It is about building a culture where governance, risk management, transparency, and customer protection are embedded into every decision we make.

We have invested significantly in building one of the industry’s strongest control frameworks and continue to work closely with independent external auditors to demonstrate the effectiveness of our governance and compliance systems.

Today, European users can access EUR on-ramp and off-ramp services, zero-fee stablecoin payments through the Mastercard network, hundreds of crypto spot trading pairs, and a comprehensive suite of crypto, commodity, and equity derivatives. We have also launched an AI-native Agentic infrastructure that enables customers to interact with our platform through AI agents, with many more innovations already in development.

Transparency has always been a core principle for us. We were the first major global platform to publish Proof of Reserves continuously for more than 40 consecutive months, helping establish what has since become an industry standard. Our Group financial statements are also audited by a Big Four accounting firm, reinforcing our commitment to financial governance and accountability.

Today, hundreds of OKX employees across Europe are building products and services for millions of users.

Our ambition goes far beyond becoming another crypto exchange.

We are building the financial infrastructure for the next generation of digital finance—bringing together crypto, traditional assets, payments, AI, and on-chain financial services on a single regulated platform.

This is only the beginning. Europe will continue to be one of the most important regions for OKX, and we remain committed to investing, innovating, and building here for decades to come.

[hong @hfangca]

This is the shift.

This is our answer to the shift that’s happening around us.

This is our offer to help you be an active part of the shift instead of being passively shifted out. 👇

What a huge loss? A loss for whom—European regulators or the people of Europe? What exactly did Europeans lose? Another October 11?

According to public reports, the company failed to demonstrate that its AML, sanctions compliance, and market integrity programs are effective, and did not obtain a license. Yet instead of reflecting on those issues, it claims that Europe is the loser.

That says a great deal about the company’s attitude toward the rule of law and financial regulation.

[hong @hfangca]

We have been building our Europe infrastructure for years with a long-term mindset.

A lot of upfront investments into people, compliance, product, and operational support. All such investments to make sure that we are building a regulated and useful home that can last for our EEA customers.

Come build your assets with @okx for the long term.👇

[Erald @EraldOnChain]

Bybit Global announced they too will be leaving Europe as they have no MICA license.

Don't let your funds get locked out or services fully disabled. Move your assets now to OKX and keep your assets safe and secure and enjoy access to the widest product range of any regulated crypto exchange in Europe.

Now we offer 8% on new deposits.
Don't wait to transfer your assets from Bybit Global and Binance to OKX.

[Erald @EraldOnChain]

Even though a heatwave in Europe, on a Sunday and through regulatory changes, #OKX keeps building and delivering for our European communities the absolute best product and services.

Today we added 8 (!!) new X-perps derivative pairs (10x).

OXX is the number 1 digital asset platform in Europe.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, we give 8% bonus on deposits.

[Star_OKX @star_okx]

Crypto was only the beginning.

Our vision for Europe is to build the most comprehensive regulated digital finance platform.

One app.
One account.

Crypto.
Stocks.
ETFs.
Commodities.
Payments.
Cards.
Earn.
Tokenized assets.
Institutional infrastructure.

Backed by MiCA, MiFID and Payment Institution licences.

This is what the next generation of finance looks like.

[Erald @EraldOnChain]

We’re seeing record numbers of new clients making the step to OKX ahead of the July 1st deadline.

We’ve been working towards this moment for years, relentlessly building the best digital asset services in regulated Europe.

We boast the most localized experience with all trusted local payment methods available, local language support, an OKX Mastercard, >300 coins listed, and our HERO PRODUCT: crypto/equity/commodity derivatives with X-Perps!

Unlike many other digital asset platforms, OKX also holds a PI license which allows for transfer of stable coins, and we hold a MiFID license allowing for derivatives trading.

Our product is designed by a team of > 200 professionals from all different European countries!

OKX is Europe’s most trusted cryptocurrency platform!

[Star_OKX @star_okx]

MiCA marks the beginning of a new chapter for digital assets in Europe.

If you’re looking for a regulated platform built for the long term, we’re excited to welcome you to OKX.

To celebrate this new chapter, we’re offering one of our biggest welcome campaigns for eligible EEA users, including welcome bonuses and deposit matching of up to 8%.

Welcome to the future of digital finance in Europe. @okx

[Satoshi Club @esatoshiclub]

JUST IN: NOT ALL the residents of the EU will have their account restricted on @binance after 1st of July.

Only those residing in a jurisdiction where Binance is providing services through a local registered entity, like in France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Belgium or Sweden.

THE REST of the countries should be ok for now, at least according to their customer support.

[Star_OKX @star_okx]

As I have predicted before, I believe this illustrates Binance’s regulatory arbitrage strategy.

Based on public information, Binance, as an unauthorized CASP, appears to have continued operating in most EU Member States despite the implementation of MiCA and public statements from ESMA. In my view, this reflects a willingness to prioritize business growth while regulatory expectations were evolving.

The broader question is whether any EU Member State would be comfortable processing or approving a MiCA application from a firm that appears to have intentionally disregarded MiCA requirements after the end of the transition period.

It also highlights a broader challenge for European regulation: rules are only effective when they are applied consistently, fairly, and uniformly across all market participants.

[Star_OKX @star_okx]

OKX began building its presence in Europe in 2018. Over the past eight years, we have worked closely with regulators and the broader crypto community, operating with integrity and a customer-first philosophy. As a technology company evolving into a regulated fintech company, we have made mistakes along the way, but we have always faced them directly, learned from them, and acted quickly to improve.

OKX was the first company in the world to obtain a MiCA license, and we also hold Payment Institution (PI) and MiFID licenses. Today, we offer EUR on-ramp and off-ramp services, zero-fee stablecoin card payments powered by the Mastercard network, hundreds of crypto spot trading pairs, and a wide range of crypto, commodity, and equity derivatives. We have also built a comprehensive Agentic infrastructure, enabling customers to interact with our platform through AI agents. In addition, we have many innovative products in development that will continue to deliver cutting-edge experiences to customers across Europe.

We were also the first global platform to continuously publish Proof of Reserves (PoR) for more than 40 consecutive months, helping establish what has now become an industry standard for transparency. In addition, our group financial statements are audited by a Big Four accounting firm, reinforcing our commitment to financial governance and accountability.

With hundreds of employees based across Europe, we are committed to providing secure, innovative, and trustworthy crypto and fintech services to users throughout the European Union. We are building not only for today’s financial system, but also for the next generation of on-chain finance and AI-driven financial services.

🔥🧊UPDATE: NYSE owner ICE 🤝 @okx

• Launching a 50-50 joint venture
• Operating as a U.S. broker-dealer & FCM
• Connecting TradFi with digital assets
• Giving 120M OKX users access to ICE futures & NYSE tokenized equity markets 🚀

[Altcoin Daily @AltcoinDaily]

Its a new era for European crypto!!

Starting July 1 unlicensed exchanges can no longer legally serve EU users.

@OKX prepared for this. They're MiCA licensed since last year and fully regulated across 30+ European markets.

Plus 8% deposit bonus if you switch.

[BATMAN ⚡ @CryptosBatman]

After July 1st, @OKX is basically the only option that makes sense for EU users being fully MiCA-regulated.

If you're trading with high amounts, make sure you're doing the switch before the deadline forces it.

[OKX @okx]

On July 1st, some platforms in Europe will go dark.

OKX is fully MiCA-authorised, regulated, and trusted by millions.

Switch to The New Money App before you're forced to.
