Okcoin Announces Cryptocurrency (DABA) Licensing in Malta and the Netherlands

Okcoin Now Focused on Growing European Presence With New Hiring and Banking Partnerships

Okcoin, one of the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency platforms, announced it has secured “In Principle” approval from the Malta Financial Services Authority and formal registration from the Netherlands Central Bank. The two cryptocurrency (DABA) licenses will enable Okcoin to further honor their commitment to build a more inclusive future of finance by providing easy access to cryptocurrency for European customers.

Europe is a big focus for our global growth plans, and we have added almost 25 team members in 2021 to better serve our customers in this region,” said Hong Fang, CEO at Okcoin. “We’re seeing an increasing trend of European Neobanks looking to provide yield on their deposits, and a PwC report highlighted that 42% of global crypto hedge funds are involved in staking; our APIs and Earn product will provide them with this capability. With these licenses, we will continue growing our presence aggressively in Europe and adding payment rails and banking partnerships to further establish ourselves as a trusted partner for retail and institutional clients.”
