OKX, a cryptocurrency exchange and global onchain technology firm, has launched its fully regulated centralised crypto trading platform in Sweden, Finland, and Denmark.
The exchange now offers users in the Nordic region access to spot trading with deep liquidity, staking, trading bots, and over 270 cryptocurrencies, all within a compliant framework.
To support its regional expansion, OKX has appointed Moritz Putzhammer as General Manager for Central Europe and the Nordics. Putzhammer, who has experience in both centralised and decentralised finance, will oversee operations, support market development, and manage regulatory engagement in the region.
“Launching a fully regulated platform across the Nordics is a key step in our European growth strategy,”
said Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe.
“With Moritz’s leadership, we’re delivering a secure, compliant, and user-centric experience that meets the needs of both retail and institutional users.”
OKX’s Nordic platform also includes features such as crypto earn products, automated trading bots, and plans for localised services.
The company states that it prioritises regulatory compliance and infrastructure reliability.
To mark the launch, OKX held an event in Stockholm ahead of the Nordic Blockchain Conference.
The event included a screening of Mild Mild West, a short film aimed at countering outdated perceptions of the crypto industry and illustrating its shift towards regulatory oversight.
“We’re excited to be one of the first global exchanges to truly dive deep into the Nordic crypto market,”
said Putzhammer.
“We’re delivering a platform that stands out for its deep liquidity, advanced trading tools like bots and staking, combined with a strong focus on regulatory compliance. It’s built for traders, and to scale with the needs of a fast-evolving European market.”
OKX holds a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) licence in Europe and was among the first global exchanges to meet this requirement.
The firm publishes monthly Proof of Reserves, with 31 consecutive reports released to date, as part of its efforts to promote transparency and user protection in the digital asset sector.
