OKX Officially Arrives in France: It's Time to Explore Regulated Crypto

Crypto in France is starting a decisive turning point. OKX, one of the most influential Asian leaders in the global ecosystem, announces its official launch in the Hexagon, in accordance with the MiCA regulatory framework. With its experience in international markets, OKX arrives with a clear ambition: to offer French users a platform that is both modern, ultra-secure, with some of the lowest fees on the market and fully aligned with the new European requirements. This establishment symbolizes the entry into a new era, where transparency, performance and trust become the norm. As an exchange, OKX has an innovative vision of Web3 designed for Europe and supported by proven technology.

What is OKX and why is it launching in France?

A major player in the global crypto ecosystem, OKX has established itself as an essential platform, especially in Asia where it ranks among the leaders. Founded in 2017, it now offers a full range of services: spot, derivatives, staking, Web3 wallet, launchpad, trading bots, NFTs… With over 270 cryptos available, a modern interface and powerful tools for both beginner and professional traders, OKX meets a wide range of needs.

Its expansion strategy towards Europe is based on a simple observation: the French market, one of the most dynamic and demanding in Europe, needed a player that is both robust, innovative and compliant.

The MiCA context and OKX’s European strategy

With the entry into force of the MiCA regulation in Europe, requirements for transparency, security and investor protection have increased. Rather than seeing this as a hindrance, OKX sees it as an opportunity: to establish itself as the regulated crypto reference in the Old Continent.

Compliant with MiCA, OKX France now guarantees a controlled, verified environment aligned with the expectations of authorities and users. The goal? To offer a solid alternative to unregulated exchanges while making the crypto universe simpler and safer.

Advantages of the OKX offer for French users

OKX offers a tailored offer for the French public, both beginners and experienced. Among the most distinguishing features:

• +270 cryptos available, including all the majors (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.);
• +60 trading pairs against the euro, with the possibility of deposit and withdrawal in EUR;
• Smooth EUR ↔ crypto conversion, in a few clicks;
• Transaction fees among the lowest on the market;
• Fast transactions, advanced API for expert traders;
• A localized interface and support adapted to the French market. 

One of the most striking facts: OKX has never suffered a hack or data leak, a rare feat among major exchanges. The platform regularly publishes Proof of Reserves 1:1 reports, guaranteeing that users’ funds are fully covered.

This proactive transparency and technological resilience position OKX as a reliable partner for crypto investors, whether novice or experienced.
Worldwide stature partnerships

OKX does not just talk technology. It also embodies an ambitious vision, materialized by prestigious partnerships, notably with McLaren Racing in Formula 1 or Manchester City in the Premier League. These collaborations illustrate its global anchoring and commitment to promoting a modern, transparent and accessible image of digital assets.

A launch under the spotlight: OKX in Cannes

To celebrate this official arrival on French soil, OKX went big. On July 1, 2025, the exchange organized an exclusive evening in Cannes, in the Cannes Festival room, at the heart of the city symbolizing the 7th art, bringing together investors, Web3 creators and media.

Highlight of the event: the European premiere of the short film “The Mild Mild West”, an ambitious visual work supported by OKX whose main actor is Vincent Cassel. Through bold artistic direction, the film offers a metaphor of the crypto Far West’s transition towards a regulated, thoughtful and responsible universe. OKX is at the dawn of this change.

This launch in Cannes illustrates OKX’s desire to create a strong cultural bond with the European public, beyond products and services.

Why does it matter for crypto in France?

France is establishing itself as a stronghold of regulation and crypto innovation in Europe. But until now, French users lacked truly solid, regulated and technologically advanced alternatives. The arrival of OKX fills this gap, offering a platform that is both powerful, compliant and user-oriented.

It also paves the way for wider adoption, notably through:

• A fun and pleasant interface designed to reassure and please;
• Advanced trading tools for the more technical;
• Clear regulation that legitimizes the ecosystem;
• Local communication embodied by @OKXFrench on X
