Crypto Exchange OKX Launches Services in Belgium to Strengthen European Presence

OKX, a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange, has officially launched its services in Belgium, marking a significant milestone in the company’s European expansion strategy. The launch offers Belgian customers access to a wide range of services, including spot trading, conversion, and various crypto-related features through both the exchange platform and its wallet. Belgian users can now trade over 200 cryptocurrencies, including more than 60 crypto-euro trading pairs, and enjoy fee-free Euro deposits and withdrawals.

A standout feature of this expansion is the partnership with Bancontact, Belgium’s online payment system, which allows users to make instant Euro deposits without any fees. Additionally, SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) withdrawals and deposits are also available without charges, making cross-border transactions easier for European users.

Erald Ghoos, General Manager of OKX Europe, emphasized that the launch in Belgium is a key step in the company’s regional growth, supported by a local team and services tailored to meet the specific needs of Belgian customers.

This launch is part of OKX’s broader strategy to strengthen its presence across Europe. Earlier in 2024, the exchange expanded to the Netherlands and announced plans to establish a regulatory hub in Malta, where it secured a Class 4 Virtual Financial Assets license in 2021. Furthermore, OKX plans to list additional tokens for Belgian users in the future, though details about this expansion have not been disclosed yet.
