Today, we’re excited to announce that Andrew M. Cuomo (@andrewcuomo) has joined the OKX Board of Directors. Governor Cuomo has been a trusted advisor to OKX since 2023, providing valuable guidance as we’ve grown. We’re proud to now officially welcome him to our Board. 2026 has already been a landmark year for OKX. Bringing Governor Cuomo’s deep leadership experience to our Board is another important step as we continue building the world’s most trustworthy large digital asset exchange. Excited for what’s ahead.

We’re proud to offer crypto, commodity, and equity derivatives to European users under the MiFID regulatory framework. Combining institutional-grade risk management, deep liquidity, and a seamless user experience, we’re building the next generation of regulated digital markets in Europe.

Eight years ago, in 2018, OKX began building our European business. Over the past eight years, we have invested heavily in products, technology, governance, risk management, and regulatory engagement. We have worked closely with regulators across Europe to help shape the next generation of digital finance. The journey has not always been perfect. Like every fast-growing company, we have encountered gaps, made mistakes, and faced intense regulatory scrutiny. When that happened, we addressed the issues, accepted responsibility, learned from them, and strengthened our controls and governance. Today, OKX is proud to be the first company in the European Union to receive a MiCA licence, while also holding authorization for the broadest range of regulated crypto services under the MiCA framework. Compliance is not just about obtaining a licence. It is about building a culture where governance, risk management, transparency, and customer protection are embedded into every decision we make. We have invested significantly in building one of the industry’s strongest control frameworks and continue to work closely with independent external auditors to demonstrate the effectiveness of our governance and compliance systems. Today, European users can access EUR on-ramp and off-ramp services, zero-fee stablecoin payments through the Mastercard network, hundreds of crypto spot trading pairs, and a comprehensive suite of crypto, commodity, and equity derivatives. We have also launched an AI-native Agentic infrastructure that enables customers to interact with our platform through AI agents, with many more innovations already in development. Transparency has always been a core principle for us. We were the first major global platform to publish Proof of Reserves continuously for more than 40 consecutive months, helping establish what has since become an industry standard. Our Group financial statements are also audited by a Big Four accounting firm, reinforcing our commitment to financial governance and accountability. Today, hundreds of OKX employees across Europe are building products and services for millions of users. Our ambition goes far beyond becoming another crypto exchange. We are building the financial infrastructure for the next generation of digital finance—bringing together crypto, traditional assets, payments, AI, and on-chain financial services on a single regulated platform. This is only the beginning. Europe will continue to be one of the most important regions for OKX, and we remain committed to investing, innovating, and building here for decades to come.
