Major global cryptocurrency exchange OKX has officially launched in the Netherlands, introducing a new local trading platform and a cutting-edge Web3 wallet.
On June 3, OKX made the exciting announcement about the official launch of its centralized crypto exchange (CEX) and the OKX Wallet in the Netherlands. This new platform allows Dutch customers to trade approximately 150 different cryptocurrencies, offering more than 60 trading pairs with the euro.
To ensure seamless transactions, OKX has integrated with the local payment system known as iDeal, allowing for easy euro deposits and withdrawals. Customers in the Netherlands can now deposit euros into their accounts free of charge, with the option for deposits and withdrawals through the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) system.
Aside from spot trading and staking services, OKX also offers its innovative Web3 wallet, giving users full custody of their crypto assets. This launch marks a significant milestone in OKX’s commitment to the Netherlands, with OKX Europe general manager Erald Ghoos mentioning the careful consideration given to user feedback in designing these local products.
After rebranding from Okcoin Europe to OKX in April, the exchange has continued to expand its services in Europe. Starting as Okcoin Europe in the Netherlands in 2021, OKX has already established itself as a reputable crypto services provider, registered with the central bank of the Netherlands and holding a virtual financial asset service provider license in Malta.
For Dutch residents interested in joining OKX, they can visit the OKX website, download the OKX app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, and complete the verification process. To celebrate the launch, OKX is offering a new user bonus of up to 50 euros ($54) for all customers who sign up by July 3.
While OKX continues to expand its presence in Europe, it has recently made the strategic decision to withdraw its Hong Kong Virtual Asset Licensing Regime license application, alongside other exchanges like Huobi and Gate.io.
