The cryptocurrency landscape in Europe is evolving rapidly, and one country at the forefront of this digital transformation is Spain. Today, OKX proudly announces the official launch of its fully regulated centralized crypto exchange in Spain — a milestone made possible through MiCA passporting from our licensed entity based in Malta.
This isn’t just another market expansion. It’s a strategic step forward in our mission to deliver secure, transparent, and user-centric crypto services across the European Economic Area (EEA). For Spanish users, this means access to a world-class platform built with compliance, performance, and local needs in mind.
Why Spain Is a Key Market for Crypto Innovation
Spain has emerged as one of the most dynamic crypto markets in Europe. With a tech-savvy population, increasing digital adoption, and strong interest in decentralized finance, the country represents a fertile ground for innovation. According to recent data, over 12% of Spaniards have already invested in digital assets — a number that continues to grow year after year.
But beyond adoption rates, what truly sets Spain apart is its forward-thinking approach to technology and finance. From Madrid to Barcelona, startups, developers, and investors are actively shaping the future of blockchain and Web3. Recognizing this momentum, OKX made a deliberate decision to enter the Spanish market with more than just a product — we brought a fully localized, regulated, and community-driven experience.

Building Trust Through Regulation and Transparency
In an industry often marked by volatility and uncertainty, trust is everything. That’s why regulatory compliance isn’t an afterthought at OKX — it’s foundational.
As a MiCA-compliant provider, we operate under one of the strictest regulatory frameworks in the world. This ensures that all user funds are protected, transactions are monitored for fraud, and operations remain fully auditable.
Additionally, we publish monthly Proof of Reserves reports — a practice we’ve maintained for 31 consecutive months. These third-party-audited reports verify that every user asset is backed 1:1, reinforcing our commitment to transparency.
We believe that true innovation doesn’t happen in the shadows. It happens when users feel confident, informed, and in control.

A Launch That Celebrates Culture and Creativity
To mark our entry into Spain, we hosted a special event in Madrid featuring the premiere of our short film Mild Mild West. More than just entertainment, this creative project symbolizes a shift in the crypto narrative — from chaos and speculation to clarity, responsibility, and mainstream acceptance.
The film playfully dismantles outdated stereotypes about cryptocurrency being chaotic or risky, instead highlighting how far the industry has come in building reliable, user-focused platforms. It reflects our vision: crypto should be accessible, understandable, and inclusive.
By choosing Madrid as the stage for this moment, we’re not only launching a service — we’re joining a vibrant community of innovators who are redefining what’s possible.
Looking Ahead: Expanding Across Europe
Spain is not an isolated move — it’s part of a broader strategy to bring regulated, high-performance crypto services to users across Europe. Recent launches in Germany and Poland have laid the groundwork, and we’re seeing strong engagement from users who value both innovation and compliance.
Our approach remains consistent:
- Partner with local regulators
- Invest in native language support and regional infrastructure
- Deliver products that align with real-world financial behaviors
And this is just the beginning. As European markets continue to mature under MiCA regulations, we’re committed to evolving alongside them — always putting users first.
