OKX launched its fully regulated centralized crypto exchange in Germany and Poland on June 17, 2025, after securing a MiCA license from MFSA in January 2025.
Moritz Putzhammer, OKX General Manager for the Nordics, discussed MiCA implications at the Nordics Blockchain Association event on June 17, 2025.
Putzhammer highlighted challenges with stablecoins under MiCA regulations and shared an example of discontinuing interest offerings on USDC due to regulatory provisions.
He expressed excitement for stablecoins and emphasized the benefits of interoperability for fast transfers across borders.
Putzhammer mentioned that RWAs and tokenized bills could be significant topics in the future for the crypto industry.
OKX sees the expansion into Germany and Poland as a step towards meeting evolving regulatory standards and leading in transparency with MiCA licensing.
In Germany and Poland, OKX offers access to deep liquidity, low fees, and a wide range of cryptocurrencies on fully licensed platforms.
