- OKX launches MiCA-compliant platforms in Germany and Poland.
- Leadership: spearheaded by Erald Ghoos, European CEO.
- Expected boost in euro-pair liquidity and institutional partnerships.
OKX has officially launched MiCA-compliant crypto trading platforms in Germany and Poland, with operations beginning in July 2025.
OKX’s expansion into Germany and Poland marks a major step for crypto regulation, boosting confidence among European investors and institutions.
Erald Ghoos, European CEO of OKX, led the expansion into Germany and Poland following the acquisition of a full MiCA license. The platform supports more than 270 cryptocurrencies alongside euro-denominated pairs, enhancing euro-pair liquidity.
The compliant launch aims to attract institutional investors using the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license. This move aligns with previous industry precedents where regulatory clarity has historically increased trust.
The platforms enable euro deposits and withdrawals, integrating with SEPA bank transfers. Institutional flows are anticipated to increase due to the clarity provided by the MiCA framework.
Historical instances reveal that secure regulatory frameworks often boost trading activity. OKX’s entry positions it as a gateway to Europe’s crypto trading, potentially enhancing fiat-to-crypto trades.
“Supporting local languages, currencies, and payment methods makes crypto trading more accessible.” – Erald Ghoos, European CEO, OKX
Charles Michel expressed support, noting the MiCA compliance bolsters a “clear path for innovation in the EU.” OKX’s move exemplifies increasing regional significance in the global crypto ecosystem.
Investors and analysts expect that the regulatory progress and operational setup in Germany and Poland may influence other exchanges to accelerate regulatory and operational expansions within the EU, enhancing the digital asset market expansion.
