OKX has stated that, from July 1, 2026, only crypto exchanges with a full Markets in Crypto‑Assets (MiCA) licence will be allowed to operate in the European Economic Area. Regulatory enforcement under MiCA will make it illegal for unlicensed exchanges or global entities to serve European users beyond this date.

OKX Europe Limited reports holding a full MiCA Crypto‑Asset Services Provider licence since January 27, 2025, allowing it to continue operations across all EEA member states. The announcement highlights potential loss of legal protections for users who remain on unlicensed platforms after the deadline, as well as the introduction of a deposit bonus (up to 8%) for those migrating assets to OKX Europe.
