Today’s a big day for us at OKX—and for crypto users across Europe. We’ve officially launched our fully regulated centralized crypto exchanges in Germany and Poland!

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

If you’re in Germany or Poland, you can now access deep liquidity, low fees, and over 270 cryptocurrencies, including more than 60 crypto-Euro pairs, all on platforms that are fully licensed, fully compliant, and built with you in mind. Whether you’re a seasoned trader or just getting started, we’ve designed this experience to be intuitive, efficient, and reliable.

Why Germany and Poland?

These two countries are key growth markets in Europe, and we wanted to make sure we got it right. That means building regulated, localized platforms that not only meet compliance standards, but actually deliver on what our users care about: performance, simplicity, and trust.

To lead the charge, we’re proud to welcome Moritz Putzhammer as General Manager for Central Europe and the Nordics, and Gabriel Manduca as General Manager for Eastern Europe. Both bring deep experience in both CeFi and DeFi, and they’re already hitting the ground running, building partnerships, engaging with regulators, and making sure our users’ voices are heard.

What’s Live Today

In both Germany and Poland, users can now enjoy:

Fully localized experiences on our website, mobile app, and customer support
Spot trading, staking, and automated trading bots
Seamless Euro deposits and withdrawals
Intuitive tools like simplified buy/sell options
A growing suite of Earn products and localized features built for European users

We’ve built these platforms with everyone in mind—from retail investors exploring crypto for the first time, to institutions looking for reliable infrastructure and deep liquidity.

Celebrating the Launch

To mark the occasion, we hosted incredible launch events in Berlin and Warsaw. One of the highlights? The premiere of our short film, Mild Mild West—a reimagining of crypto’s “wild west” reputation, and a bold statement about where the industry is headed: toward maturity, regulation, and trust.

And it’s not just talk. We’re proud to be leading the industry in transparency with 31 consecutive monthly Proof of Reserves reports, and we hold MiCA licensing in Europe. We're among the first global exchanges ready to meet the region’s evolving regulatory standards head-on.

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning. As we continue expanding across Europe, our mission remains the same: to build the most trusted, user-centric crypto platform on the planet.

If you're in Germany or Poland, we can’t wait for you to explore what we’ve built. And if you’re elsewhere in Europe, stay tuned. We’re just getting started.
