In a strategic move to bolster its European presence, Okcoin Europe Ltd. has rebranded to OKX and appointed Erald Ghoos as the new Europe General Manager. As part of this rebranding, OKX aims to unify its brand worldwide.
OKX is one of the biggest crypto exchange globally trusted with over 50 million users worldwide,. The company has been operating in Europe since 2021, holding a crypto service provider registration with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) and a virtual financial asset service provider license in Malta.
As part of its expansion plans, OKX is currently beta testing its platform in the Netherlands, with an official launch on the horizon. The company is seeking user feedback during this phase to optimize performance and tailor its offerings to the local market.
“Europe is home to many diverse and growing communities of crypto users, some of whom have yet to be introduced to OKX and what we stand for,” Hong Fang, the President of OKX, commented. “Our mission over the coming months and years is to build locally, including in important markets such as the Netherlands.”
According to the Finance Magnates Intelligence report, OKX is the fourth largest exchange in terms of spot volumes, which grew by nearly 130% in March compared to February. The value was $171 billion, trailing the third place ByBit by only a few percentage points.
