OKX Expands Into Europe With Regulated Crypto Exchanges – 270+ Coins Now Live in Germany & Poland
Key Takeaways:
- OKX launches fully licensed crypto exchanges in Germany and Poland, offering over 270 assets and 60+ crypto-Euro pairs.
- Deep liquidity, local compliance, and intuitive tools aim to serve both beginners and professional traders.
- OKX’s European push aligns with MiCA regulation, positioning the exchange as a trusted player in Europe’s maturing crypto market.
The European crypto scene just got a major upgrade. OKX, one of the world’s leading centralized exchanges, has officially launched its regulated trading platforms in Germany and Poland. This move not only opens access to hundreds of digital assets for millions of users but also reinforces OKX’s long-term commitment to regulatory alignment and transparency in Europe.
OKX Enters Germany and Poland With Fully Compliant Crypto Platforms
The move into Germany and Poland represents more than just geographic expansion, it’s a calculated and strategic play into two of Europe’s most important crypto markets. They are now up and running both platforms, where retail and institutional users can purchase, sell, stake and trade more than 270 cryptocurrencies, over 60 Crypto-Euro pairs.
These rollouts form part of OKX’s wider plan to comply with EU Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, which is expected to be fully in force in 2025. By being among the first to do so, OKX is staying ahead and establishing itself as more compliant, transparent, and user-first compared to less regulated competitors.
“Germany and Poland are growth hubs for crypto adoption in the EU,” said Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe. “This launch reflects our core values: performance, simplicity, and above all, trust.”
What’s New for Users in Germany and Poland?
OKX customers in these two countries now have access to a powerful, tailored for the local market trading experience. The products are for retail traders who are new to digital assets and experienced traders looking for deep liquidity and reliable infrastructure.

Leading with Regulation and Transparency
As the European crypto regulatory landscape tightens, OKX’s proactive licensing move places it ahead of rivals. The exchange is not only MiCA-ready but also maintains 31 consecutive months of Proof of Reserves (PoR)—a level of transparency unmatched by most major exchanges.
Both platforms in Germany and Poland are licensed and operate under local regulatory frameworks. OKX’s entry sets a new standard for centralized exchanges attempting to navigate Europe’s increasingly regulated crypto terrain.
The company is also among the first large crypto exchanges to fully integrate new EU crypto compliance frameworks before they become mandatory, reinforcing its commitment to user protection and legal clarity.
Market Significance and Strategic Vision
Germany is widely seen as the financial heart of the EU, while Poland is said to be home to one of the fasted-growing crypto communities in Eastern Europe. By entering both at once, OKX not only spreads its reach but signals its intention to take over the regulated markets of Europe.
The company also added Moritz Putzhammer, as general manager for Central Europe and the Nordics and Gabriel Manduca as general manager for Eastern Europe, a sign that it is focusing on building strong local leadership and user engagement.
Their responsibilities are not symbolic — and both are engaged in forming partnerships, engaging in regulatory dialogues, and in educating around on-boarding users across their jurisdictions.

Competitive Edge: Why OKX’s Timing Matters
As the use of cryptos is on an increase in the whole EU, the uncertainty regarding regulations has restricted the growth potential of many international exchanges. For example, Binance has seen withdrawals from some European markets over licensing problems. Coinbase is a power house in the United States, but the company is still odd-man out in Europe among pure crypto players.
With excellent timing and regulatory preparedness, OKX has first-mover advantage in two important regions. Backed by transparent compliance structure and MiCA alignment, it opens itself to the broader mass of users and institutions that are in search of safety and ease of access for trading with the digital assets.
A Cultural Shift: From Wild West to Financial Mainstream
To accompany the launch, OKX premiered a short film, Mild Mild West, which seeks to redefine the crypto space from its unregulated “wild west” reputation into one of security, maturity, and accountability.
This branding shift isn’t just PR—it’s supported by real-time transparency tools, localized services, and the kind of user education initiatives needed to bring crypto to the masses without the risk.

What’s Next for OKX in Europe?
The Germany and Poland launches mark the beginning of OKX’s larger vision for Europe. The exchange has indicated that further rollouts could come to other EU member states, particularly those with clear regulation in place or a high number of the unbanked.
Outside of geographical growth, OKX plans to grow its Earn suite, offer additional DeFi integration into CeFi infrastructure, and possibly add trades for tokenized assets if regulators permit.
