In an exciting development for the European crypto community, Okcoin Europe Ltd. has officially rebranded to OKX across the region. This strategic move marks a pivotal moment in our mission to deliver a seamless, localized, and innovative digital asset experience to users throughout Europe.
As General Manager for the region, my primary focus remains on building strong local teams that align with our global, user-first strategy. By embedding ourselves within key markets, we’re able to better understand regional needs and deliver services that reflect the unique preferences of each community. With over 50 million users worldwide, localization isn't just a goal—it's a necessity.

Strengthening Our European Presence
Since 2021, our entity—Okcoin Europe Ltd.—has operated under regulatory frameworks in both the Netherlands and Malta. We’ve maintained a crypto service provider registration with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) and hold a virtual financial asset service provider license in Malta. These credentials underscore our commitment to compliance, security, and transparency.
Now, while the legal entity remains unchanged, our services will be delivered under the unified OKX brand. This rebrand ensures consistency across global markets and strengthens brand recognition, making it easier for users to access our full suite of products—from spot and derivatives trading to staking and Web3 integrations—under one trusted name.
A Tailored Experience for European Users
One of the core objectives behind this transition is to enhance the user experience through localization. We’re optimizing our platform to reflect:
- Preferred trading pairs and market data
- Localized payment methods and faster fiat on-ramps
- Language support and region-specific customer service
For example, in the Netherlands, our platform is currently available in beta mode, with a full official launch scheduled soon. This phased rollout allows us to gather real user feedback and fine-tune features before expanding more broadly.
Our goal is to make crypto access as intuitive and frictionless as possible—whether you're depositing euros via iDEAL, exploring decentralized applications (dApps), or trading volatile assets during market swings.
Europe’s Role in the Global Crypto Ecosystem
Europe has long been at the forefront of financial innovation and digital transformation. From the adoption of GDPR-compliant frameworks to the implementation of Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, the region is setting global standards for responsible blockchain development.
We believe crypto and Web3 are not just technological shifts—they represent a fundamental reimagining of ownership, identity, and financial inclusion. By rebranding to OKX in Europe, we’re positioning ourselves as active contributors to this evolution.
Our investment in local talent, compliance infrastructure, and community engagement reflects our long-term commitment. We’re not just entering the market—we’re embedding ourselves within it.

Looking Ahead: Innovation and Community Growth
The rebrand is more than a name change—it's a signal of intent. In the coming months, we plan to:
- Expand fiat on-ramp options across additional European countries
- Introduce localized educational resources on blockchain literacy and risk management
- Launch targeted initiatives to support developers building on Web3
- Enhance customer support with multilingual teams based in Europe
We’re also exploring partnerships with fintech innovators, academic institutions, and regulatory bodies to help shape a sustainable, inclusive digital economy.
Your trust is central to everything we do. As we grow, we remain committed to transparency, security, and empowering users with the tools they need to navigate the crypto landscape confidently.
