Today marks a pivotal milestone for the European crypto community. OKX has officially launched its fully regulated centralized crypto exchanges in Germany and Poland, setting a new benchmark for compliance, security, and user experience across the region.
This expansion isn’t just about entering new markets—it’s about building the future of digital finance the right way: transparently, responsibly, and with local users at the heart of every decision.
If you're based in Germany or Poland, you now have access to a powerful, licensed platform offering deep liquidity, ultra-low trading fees, and more than 270 cryptocurrencies, including over 60 crypto-to-Euro trading pairs. Whether you're a beginner exploring your first Bitcoin purchase or an experienced trader leveraging advanced tools, OKX delivers a seamless, intuitive, and secure experience tailored to European needs.
Why Germany and Poland?
Germany and Poland represent two of Europe’s most dynamic and forward-thinking digital asset markets. With strong tech ecosystems, growing retail adoption, and increasingly clear regulatory frameworks, they are natural starting points for OKX’s European growth strategy.
But launching here means more than just offering a product—it means building platforms that are:
- Fully licensed under local regulations
- Designed with localized language, support, and payment methods
- Committed to long-term engagement with regulators and communities
To lead this mission, we’re proud to welcome two industry veterans to our leadership team:
- Moritz Putzhammer, General Manager for Central Europe and the Nordics
- Gabriel Manduca, General Manager for Eastern Europe
Both bring extensive experience from both centralized (CeFi) and decentralized (DeFi) finance. They’re already deep in conversations with regulators, forming strategic partnerships, and ensuring that user feedback shapes the evolution of our platforms.

One standout moment? The world premiere of our short film: _Mild Mild West_.
This creative piece reimagines crypto’s notorious “Wild West” image—replacing chaos with clarity, speculation with structure, and uncertainty with trust. It’s a bold statement about where the industry is headed: toward maturity, regulation, and mainstream adoption.
