In a significant move to strengthen its presence in Europe, Okcoin Europe Ltd. has officially rebranded to OKX across the region. This strategic evolution reflects the company’s commitment to delivering a unified, user-first experience tailored to the unique needs of Europe’s growing cryptocurrency community.
As General Manager for the region, my mission remains clear: to build strong local teams that drive our global vision while staying deeply connected to the communities we serve. With over 50 million users worldwide, OKX is dedicated to creating localized experiences that align with regional trading behaviors, preferred payment methods, and accessible fiat on-ramps.

A Seamless Transition for European Users
Since 2021, Okcoin Europe Ltd. has operated under regulatory registrations with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) in the Netherlands and as a Virtual Financial Asset Service Provider in Malta. These registrations ensure compliance and trust for users across Europe. While the legal entity remains unchanged, all services will now be delivered under the globally recognized OKX brand.
This rebrand does not impact the security, regulatory standing, or operational integrity of our services. Instead, it enhances brand consistency and strengthens user confidence by aligning European operations with OKX’s international identity—known for innovation, security, and a comprehensive suite of crypto offerings.
Enhancing the User Experience Across Key Markets
The rebrand marks more than just a name change—it's a promise to deliver a more intuitive, responsive, and localized platform experience. In countries like the Netherlands, where our platform is currently available in beta mode, we’re actively refining features based on user feedback ahead of a full official launch.
Our goal is simple: make crypto accessible, reliable, and relevant to every user. Whether you're trading spot markets, exploring DeFi opportunities, or onboarding via local banking methods, OKX is optimizing every touchpoint to match European preferences.
Europe has long been at the forefront of blockchain innovation and digital economy development. From progressive regulatory frameworks like MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) to widespread public interest in Web3 technologies, the region offers fertile ground for sustainable growth in the crypto ecosystem.
We’re proud to contribute to this evolution—not just as a service provider, but as a partner in education, innovation, and responsible adoption.

Building for the Future of Crypto in Europe
Looking ahead, OKX will continue expanding its footprint through:
- Localized customer support in key European languages
- Integration of region-specific fiat deposit and withdrawal options
- Development of educational resources to promote responsible crypto usage
- Strategic partnerships with local fintechs and blockchain initiatives
Our team is focused on understanding the nuances of each market—be it payment habits in Germany, regulatory expectations in France, or investment trends in Scandinavia. This hyper-local approach ensures that our platform doesn’t just work for Europeans—it feels built by them and for them.
We believe that true innovation happens when global expertise meets local insight. By combining OKX’s world-class technology and security infrastructure with on-the-ground knowledge, we’re creating a platform that empowers users at every level—from beginners to advanced traders.
Commitment to Compliance and Transparency
At the heart of our operations is a steadfast commitment to regulatory compliance, user protection, and transparency. Operating under DNB supervision and Maltese VFA regulations means we adhere to strict standards around anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC), and asset safeguarding.
Users can trade with confidence knowing their funds are protected by institutional-grade custody solutions and cold storage protocols. Furthermore, our ongoing dialogue with regulators reflects our belief that collaboration—not confrontation—is the path forward for sustainable industry growth.
