The digital asset landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and with it, so do the platforms powering the next generation of financial innovation. Today marks a pivotal moment in our journey as we announce the rebranding of Okcoin Europe Ltd. to OKX across European markets.
This strategic transition reflects our deeper commitment to delivering a seamless, localized, and user-first experience for the over 50 million global users who trust our platform. As General Manager for the region, my mission is clear: build strong local teams that align with our global vision while addressing the unique needs of each market we serve.
A Unified Brand for a Global Vision
While the name Okcoin Europe Ltd. has been a trusted presence since 2021—operating under regulatory frameworks including registration with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) and holding a Virtual Financial Asset Service Provider license in Malta—the shift to the OKX brand unifies our identity worldwide.
Users will continue to be served by the same regulated entity, Okcoin Europe Ltd., but now under the globally recognized OKX brand. This ensures consistency in security, compliance, and service quality, while enhancing brand recognition and trust.

Enhancing the User Experience in Key Markets
Our rebrand is more than just a new name or logo—it’s a promise to deliver superior user experiences tailored to local preferences. In Europe, this means optimizing our platform to support:
- Preferred fiat on-ramps and local payment methods
- Language-specific interfaces and customer support
- Trading features aligned with regional market behavior
Currently, our platform is available in beta mode in the Netherlands, with a full official launch scheduled soon. This phased rollout allows us to gather user feedback, refine functionality, and ensure regulatory alignment before expanding further.
Europe has long been a hub of blockchain innovation and digital economy advancement. From fintech startups to institutional adoption, the region continues to lead in shaping responsible crypto policies and use cases. By strengthening our presence through the OKX brand, we aim to contribute meaningfully to this ecosystem.
Why This Rebrand Matters
The decision to rebrand was driven by three core objectives:
- Brand Consistency: Aligning Europe with the global OKX identity improves clarity and trust.
- User-Centric Innovation: A unified brand enables faster deployment of features and services based on global insights and local input.
- Regulatory Confidence: Operating under established licenses reinforces our commitment to compliance and transparency.
We understand that trust is earned through action—not announcements. That’s why every step of this transition prioritizes security, stability, and user empowerment.

Over the coming months, we’ll be introducing enhanced product offerings tailored to European users, including improved onboarding flows, expanded asset listings, and deeper integration with local banking systems. Our goal is simple: make it easier than ever to enter and thrive in the world of digital assets.
We’re also investing in community engagement—through educational content, developer grants, and partnerships with local innovators—to ensure that growth is sustainable and inclusive.
