OKX: First EU MiCA Licence Recipient

OKX has become the first company in the European Union to receive a MiCA licence while holding authorization for the broadest range of regulated crypto services under the framework.

Compliance Culture Drives Eight-Year Push

Since launching its European business in 2018, OKX poured resources into governance, risk management and regulatory engagement across the bloc. The firm addressed past gaps, accepted responsibility for mistakes and built one of the industry’s strongest control frameworks audited by external parties and a Big Four firm. European users now access EUR on-ramp and off-ramp services, zero-fee stablecoin payments via Mastercard, hundreds of spot pairs and derivatives across crypto, commodities and equities plus an AI-native Agentic infrastructure.

Transparency remains central: OKX published Proof of Reserves for more than 40 consecutive months and continues to expand its regulated platform that merges crypto, traditional assets, payments, AI and on-chain services. Hundreds of local employees support millions of users as the company positions Europe as a core long-term market for digital finance infrastructure.
