Cryptocurrency exchange OKX has made its new centralized trading platforms available to users in Germany and Poland. According to the company’s official statement, both platforms have received local licenses and operate in full compliance with the regulatory requirements of the European Union.
Localization and Regulatory Compliance
In both Germany and Poland, users now have access to localized versions of the OKX website and mobile app, along with customer support in their native languages. The exchange offers:
- spot trading,
- staking features,
- trading bots,
- a simple interface for buying and selling cryptocurrencies,
- instant euro deposits and withdrawals,
- over 60 trading pairs with the euro and more than 270 crypto assets.
In addition, OKX is expanding its Earn-branded products for European clients, allowing users to generate yield by placing assets on the platform.
Management and Regional Strategy
Management of OKX’s European operations is divided into two regions. Moritz Putzhammer is responsible for Central and Northern Europe, while Gabriel Manduca oversees Eastern Europe. Both executives have experience in both centralized and decentralized financial services. Their responsibilities include building relationships with regulators, developing partnerships, and tailoring products for local markets.
Transparency and MiCA Compliance
OKX emphasizes its commitment to regulatory standards. The company regularly publishes Proof of Reserves reports. At the time of the German and Polish launches, it had already released its 31st report. Additionally, OKX has secured a license in line with the provisions of the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulation, which is soon to take effect across the EU.
Marketing and Industry Image Reboot
Official launch events in Berlin and Warsaw featured a screening of the short film Mild Mild West. The film reimagines the image of cryptocurrencies as a “Wild West” and highlights the industry's transition toward maturity and regulation.
The launch of new regulated platforms in Germany and Poland broadens access to crypto infrastructure for a wide range of users from retail investors to institutional clients. OKX views both countries as strategic growth hubs within the European market.
