OKX Secures MiCA Pre-Authorization for Localized Crypto Services in Europe

OKX has successfully obtained pre-authorization under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) on January 22. This pre-approval signifies that OKX has completed the regulator’s review process and is now qualified for a full MiCA license. The company plans to establish its European Economic Area (EEA) hub in Malta, where it will offer localized crypto services to over 400 million Europeans. These services will include regional language options, euro-based trading pairs, and local-language customer support. Once the full MiCA license is secured, OKX will provide access to regulated crypto exchange products, including OTC trading, spot trading, and bot trading, supporting over 240 cryptocurrency tokens across 26 markets.
