OKX Launches Regulated Crypto Platform in France Under MiCA Framework

The global crypto regulatory landscape in 2025 is becoming more structured yet remains fragmented, with only 40 out of 138 jurisdictions meeting FATF standards, and illicit crypto flows still significant. President Donald Trump's strong advocacy for crypto has accelerated regulatory developments and institutional adoption, with Europe’s MiCA framework driving a 70% increase in EU crypto volumes and encouraging investor activity. In France, new legislation allows crypto-assets to be used as collateral for loans, marking a symbolic step towards integrating digital assets into traditional finance despite cautious regulatory constraints. OKX, a major global crypto exchange, has launched in France, fully compliant with MiCA regulations, aiming to offer a secure and transparent platform with low fees tailored to the dynamic French market. OKX also expanded payment options by integrating Apple Pay for customers in the EEA and the US, enhancing ease and security for crypto purchases. Additionally, the Sui Eco Hub’s integration within the OKX Wallet simplifies access to the Sui blockchain ecosystem, promoting user engagement and innovation through streamlined interactions with decentralized applications.
