Passporting allows businesses that are MiCA-registered in one EU country to expand their “services across the entire EU under a unified regulatory framework.”
This approval follows their MiCA license acquisition “on January 27, 2025, and solidifies their position as a trusted and compliant player in the European crypto space.”
Crypto regulation is evolving fast, and securing the MiCA license means they’re committed to “providing secure, transparent, and compliant services.”
With support for local languages, currencies, and payment methods, they are making crypto trading more accessible.
This isn’t just about Europe—it’s part of their broader “mission to bring crypto to the world.”
In 2024, OKX launched in seven onshore markets and “obtained four new licenses and registrations.”
Now, with MiCA passporting, they’re able to “scale even further, ensuring that users across Europe can trade with confidence on a regulated platform.”
OKX says that it a technology company with a mission to “organize the world’s blockchains and make them more accessible and useful.”
OKX began as a crypto exchange giving people “access to trading and over time became among the largest platforms in the world.”
In recent years, they have developed one of “the most connected onchain wallets used by millions to access decentralized applications (dApps).”
OKX is a brand “trusted” by institutions seeking “access to crypto markets on a reliable platform that seamlessly connects with global banking and payments.”
Their products include: The OKX Exchange, OKX Wallet, OKX Marketplace, OKX Explorer, OKX Chain and OS for developers, OKX Ventures and OKX Institutional Services.
