Tokenization isn’t just putting stocks onchain. It’s creating a more efficient market with global access, continuous liquidity, and programmable settlement. That’s a fundamental upgrade to capital markets.

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.

OKX began building its presence in Europe in 2018. Over the past eight years, we have worked closely with regulators and the broader crypto community, operating with integrity and a customer-first philosophy. As a technology company evolving into a regulated fintech company, we have made mistakes along the way, but we have always faced them directly, learned from them, and acted quickly to improve. OKX was the first company in the world to obtain a MiCA license, and we also hold Payment Institution (PI) and MiFID licenses. Today, we offer EUR on-ramp and off-ramp services, zero-fee stablecoin card payments powered by the Mastercard network, hundreds of crypto spot trading pairs, and a wide range of crypto, commodity, and equity derivatives. We have also built a comprehensive Agentic infrastructure, enabling customers to interact with our platform through AI agents. In addition, we have many innovative products in development that will continue to deliver cutting-edge experiences to customers across Europe. We were also the first global platform to continuously publish Proof of Reserves (PoR) for more than 40 consecutive months, helping establish what has now become an industry standard for transparency. In addition, our group financial statements are audited by a Big Four accounting firm, reinforcing our commitment to financial governance and accountability. With hundreds of employees based across Europe, we are committed to providing secure, innovative, and trustworthy crypto and fintech services to users throughout the European Union. We are building not only for today’s financial system, but also for the next generation of on-chain finance and AI-driven financial services.
