OKX Officially Launches in Germany and Poland

Author: Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe

Today is a significant milestone for OKX — and for crypto users across Europe. We have officially launched our fully compliant centralized cryptocurrency trading platform in Germany and Poland!

For us, this is more than geographic expansion — it's a commitment to building the future of cryptocurrency the right way: secure, transparent, and tailored to local needs.

If you're in Germany or Poland, you can now experience deep liquidity, low trading fees, and access to over 270 cryptocurrencies — including 60+ crypto-to-Euro trading pairs — through our fully licensed, strictly compliant platform. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just getting started, we're committed to delivering an intuitive, efficient, and reliable trading experience.

Why Germany and Poland?

These two countries are key growth markets in Europe, and we want to do it right. That means building a regulated, locally tailored platform that not only meets compliance standards but genuinely addresses what users care about most: performance, simplicity, and trust. To drive this effort, we're honored to welcome Moritz Putzhammer as General Manager for Central and Northern Europe, and Gabriel Manduca as General Manager for Eastern Europe. Both bring deep expertise in CeFi and DeFi and have already hit the ground running, actively building partnerships, engaging with regulators, and ensuring user voices are heard.

Features Now Live

Users in Germany and Poland can now enjoy the following:

• Fully localized website, mobile app, and customer support

• Spot trading, staking, and automated trading bots

• Seamless Euro deposit and withdrawal

• Streamlined buy/sell tools with intuitive operations

• Localized returns portfolio designed for European users

We've tailored this platform for all types of users — whether you're a retail user exploring crypto assets for the first time or an institutional user seeking reliable infrastructure and deep liquidity.

Celebrating the Launch

To mark this important milestone, we hosted fantastic launch events in Berlin and Warsaw. One of the highlights was the premiere of our short film, "Mild Mild West" — a fresh take on the "wild west" perception of crypto, and a bold declaration of where we believe the industry is headed: maturity, compliance, and trust.

This isn't just rhetoric. We've published Proof of Reserves reports for 31 consecutive months, setting the standard for transparency in the industry. We've also obtained our European MiCA license, making us one of the first global trading platforms to comply with the region's new regulations.

What's next?

This is just the beginning. As we continue expanding across Europe, our mission remains unchanged: to build the world's most trusted, user-centric crypto platform.

If you're in Germany or Poland, we invite you to experience everything we've built for you. If you're elsewhere in Europe, stay tuned — we're just getting started.

Trusted by tens of millions of users worldwide, Register OKX and enjoy an exceptional trading experience along with a diverse range of wealth management products.

2025: Steady Progress Toward Financial Freedom

— An End-of-Year Letter to Global Users from OKX Founder & CEO Star "Financial freedom" is often misunderstood. It doesn't mean the absence of rules, but rather the freedom to have choices even when rules exist — and, when the system is truly put to the test, to remain reliable and effective. This is precisely what we remained focused on throughout 2025. First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our global customers, partners, and regulators.
