Today marks a pivotal moment for the crypto community in Spain — OKX has officially launched its fully regulated centralized cryptocurrency exchange in the Spanish market. Enabled by MiCA passporting from our European headquarters in Malta, this rollout represents more than just a product launch. It’s a commitment to building a secure, transparent, and user-first digital asset experience tailored specifically for Spanish users.
Why Spain Matters in the European Crypto Landscape
Spain stands out as one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving markets within the European Economic Area (EEA). With a growing base of tech-savvy individuals, increasing crypto adoption, and a vibrant startup ecosystem, Spain is emerging as a key hub for blockchain innovation.
At OKX, we recognized early on that entering this market required more than translation — it demanded full localization. That means not only offering services in Spanish but also aligning with local financial behaviors, regulatory expectations, and user needs. Our goal was clear: create a platform that doesn’t just serve Spanish customers, but empowers them.
Now, users across Spain can access:
- Over 270 cryptocurrencies, including more than 60 crypto-to-Euro trading pairs
- Low trading fees backed by deep liquidity pools
- Spot trading, staking options, and automated trading bots for all experience levels
- Seamless Euro deposits and withdrawals via trusted local payment methods
- Crypto earn products designed to help users grow their holdings securely
- Full Spanish-language support across web, mobile app, and customer service channels
Whether you're buying your first Bitcoin or managing a diversified portfolio, OKX delivers a smooth, intuitive experience built for real-world use.

Built on Trust: Regulation, Security, and Transparency
In an industry often clouded by uncertainty, trust is everything. That’s why compliance isn’t an afterthought at OKX — it’s foundational.
Our operations are fully aligned with the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, ensuring we meet the highest standards of consumer protection and market integrity across Europe. As one of the first major exchanges to achieve MiCA passporting rights from Malta, we’re setting a precedent for responsible growth.
Beyond regulation, we reinforce transparency through our monthly Proof of Reserves audits — now totaling 31 consecutive reports. These independently verified snapshots give users confidence that their assets are fully backed and securely held.
We’ve also strengthened our local presence by investing in regional infrastructure, partnerships, and customer support teams who understand the nuances of the Spanish market. This isn’t just about launching a product — it’s about embedding ourselves into the local ecosystem.
Celebrating the Launch in Madrid
To mark our official arrival, we hosted a special event in Madrid featuring the exclusive premiere of our short film Mild Mild West. More than just entertainment, this creative project symbolizes a turning point for the crypto industry — moving away from wild speculation and toward clarity, responsibility, and mainstream trust.
The film playfully dismantles outdated stereotypes while highlighting how far digital assets have come: from fringe curiosity to regulated financial instruments embraced by institutions and everyday users alike.
It was inspiring to see so many members of Spain’s blockchain community come together — developers, investors, creators — all united by a shared belief in the future of decentralized technology.
What’s Next for OKX in Europe?
Spain is not an endpoint — it’s a milestone. With successful launches already underway in Germany and Poland, and continued expansion across the continent, our European journey is accelerating.
We’re also proud to announce that OKX has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, recognizing our information security management systems as world-class. This globally respected standard validates our rigorous protocols for safeguarding user data and maintaining platform integrity.
Additionally, our recent collateral mirroring program with Standard Chartered, supported by institutions like Brevan Howard Digital and Franklin Templeton, underscores our role in bridging traditional finance with crypto innovation — bringing institutional-grade efficiency and security to digital asset markets.
