OKX Secures EU Approval to Grow Crypto Payments

Published by

OKX has secured a Payment Institution license from Malta’s financial regulator, giving it full regulatory approval to offer stablecoin payment services across the European Union under the bloc’s Markets in Crypto‑Assets (MiCA) and Payment Services Directive (PSD2) frameworks. This license lets OKX expand OKX Pay and the OKX Card, supporting stablecoins like USDC and USDG in compliant transactions throughout the EU. The move strengthens OKX’s regulated presence ahead of tighter European crypto rules taking effect in 2026 and positions the exchange to bring stablecoins into everyday payments and card spending.
