OKX expands operations in Belgium with the launch of an exchange and wallet

OKX has established a cryptocurrency trading platform and self-custodial wallet in Belgium, allowing users to access over 200 cryptocurrencies and conduct smooth euro transactions. Operating under EU laws, the expansion is a big step forward in OKX’s European growth strategy.

OKX, the global pioneer in bitcoin and Web3 solutions, has launched its trading platform and self-custodial wallet in Belgium. Belgian users can trade over 200 cryptocurrencies, including 60 euro-paired options, on this extension’s user-friendly interface that prioritizes convenience and security.

OKX has teamed with Bancontact, Belgium’s popular payment system, to expedite euro transactions by allowing for free quick deposits and withdrawals. The platform now enables SEPA transactions, making it easier for Belgian customers to do business. Residents can register using the Itsme identity app, which simplifies the onboarding process for new users.

While OKX operates in Belgium without direct regulatory approval, it follows EU requirements through its Malta-registered subsidiary, Okcoin Europe. The Malta Financial Services Authority licenses this framework, which meets European criteria and offers tailored services to the Belgian market.

OKX’s debut in Belgium is part of a bigger goal: to enhance its European presence. The business recently launched its exchange in the Netherlands and announced ambitions to set up an EU regulatory headquarters in Malta. These initiatives demonstrate OKX’s dedication to providing localized services that meet the specific demands of European users.

In Belgium, bitcoin acceptance is constantly increasing, with over 25% of the population using digital assets. Experts predict that this proportion will rise to 28% by 2028, signifying a cautious yet growing interest in cryptocurrency investments among Belgians. OKX strives to address this demand by providing a secure and user-friendly platform for trading and asset management.

The launch of OKX’s exchange and wallet in Belgium increases the company’s position in Europe while also highlighting the growing demand for cryptocurrency solutions suited to regional tastes. OKX, with a focus on trust, security, and innovation, continues to push digital asset adoption across a variety of businesses.
