DefiLlama’s on-ramp comparison shows that converting €1,000 into BTC through
@OKX in Europe currently costs just €2.67.
Elsewhere in the same comparison, the cost reaches €36.69. That’s a €34.02 difference before the BTC even reaches your account.
And remember: most major Tier-1 CEXs aren’t even available in the euro region. Among the platforms that are, spreads this wide are significant enough to matter.
