Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe, announced the company's new launch in France, emphasizing that it strengthens its MiCA-compliant operations and delivers tailored products for one of the European Union's most active cryptocurrency communities. This statement was made in an official press release.
"We've officially launched our fully regulated centralized crypto exchange in France, made possible through MiCA passporting from our European HQ in Malta," said Ghoos. "France is one of the most important crypto markets in the European Economic Area, with a strong community and growing appetite for digital assets. we're proud to be among the first global exchanges to meet its standards, and France is just the beginning. we're here to stay, and we're here to serve, with products that meet local needs, support that speaks your language, and a platform you can trust."
The European Union has established the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) as its first comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto services. It aims to harmonize licensing, consumer protection, transparency, and oversight across all EU and European Economic Area (EEA) member states. According to OKX’s announcement, the platform has become one of the first global crypto exchanges to secure MiCA authorization and passport its services across 28 EEA countries. This marks a pivotal milestone for regulated crypto operations in Europe.
