What sets OKX Wallet apart is its pioneering integration of Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Account Abstraction (AA) technologies. These innovations eliminate the need for traditional private keys, reduce transaction complexity, and enhance recovery options—making self-custody safer and more intuitive than ever before.

This combination positions OKX Wallet as a critical tool for mainstream Web3 adoption, especially in high-engagement markets like Türkiye.

Building Local Presence for Long-Term Growth

Our journey in Türkiye began in May 2023 when we announced our intention to expand into the region. Since then, we’ve opened a local office and assembled a dedicated team focused on product localization, community engagement, and regulatory alignment.

This physical presence underscores our long-term commitment to the Turkish market—not just as a service provider, but as a partner in shaping the country’s digital economy.

Leadership Insights: Why Türkiye Matters

Hong Fang, President of OKX, emphasized the strategic importance of this launch:

"The official launch of OKX TR is a significant milestone in our global expansion strategy. With a crypto adoption rate close to 50%, Türkiye represents a very dynamic and promising market for the industry as it continues to develop. The population's high level of engagement and understanding of digital assets makes it an ideal environment for OKX, and we're strongly committed to helping continue to grow this already vibrant ecosystem."

Mehmet Çamır, Chairman of OKX TR, added:

"The launch of OKX TR is a testament to our belief in the country's huge potential for growth and our commitment to the market. Already a global leader in crypto trading, Türkiye is also in a prime position to grow in the decentralized finance space. We're excited to support this development, and firmly believe that our presence here will play a pivotal role in nurturing Türkiye's emergence as a Web3 innovation hub."

These insights reflect our vision: to help position Türkiye at the forefront of blockchain innovation in Europe and beyond.
