Who it may suit
OKX Europe allows comparison of tiered spot pricing with simple quoted buying. Order-book rates also depend on whether the account has X-Perps enabled; compare equivalent account setups.
Entity
OKX Europe Limited, Piazzetta Business Plaza, Office 4, Floor 2, Triq Ghar il-Lembi, Sliema, Malta. LEI 54930069NLWEIGLHXU42. Maltese registration C 88193. ESMA records an authorisation of 27 January 2025, Article 63, home state Malta, with no end date. The French AMF list still titles the entry OKCoin Europe Limited, with the same LEI and 15 February 2025 as the intended start in France.
The MFSA warns about the impersonating email [email protected] and states that it has no association with OKX Europe Limited. It separately identifies the legitimate entity and www.okx.com; this is not a sanction or evidence of a failing by that company.
Services and countries
ESMA lists custody, a trading platform, exchange for funds, exchange for other crypto-assets, execution, placing, reception and transmission, portfolio management and transfers. It does not list advice. The EEA terms, updated on 26 May 2026, attribute those MiCA services to OKX Europe Limited and add that it is also an MFSA financial institution for the payment account and stablecoin payments.
The entity’s home state is Malta and its documented EEA scope includes Spain. Account acceptance and supported assets must also be checked against the provider’s terms for the specific residence.
The book and the simple buy
Without a derivatives account, the opening tier is 0.200% maker and 0.350% taker, with assets or volume at zero. VIP tiers step down as assets or 30-day volume rise; either condition is enough. A limit that rests on the book is maker; an immediate fill is taker. Zero-fee pairs do not count toward the tier, and the page does not say which they are.
With a derivatives account the opening book tier becomes 0.080% and 0.100%. That is a different schedule, not the one for someone who only has spot. Buying, selling or converting on the simple quote puts the spread inside the price. No percentage is published for that spread. An Easy Transfer sentence says that after a euro deposit you can buy crypto instantly with no fees: that is not a published 0% spread for every simple buy.
Deposits and withdrawals
Euro SEPA deposits and withdrawals carry no OKX fee; the bank may charge. The stated limit for a SEPA Instant deposit is €100,000. Crypto deposits carry no network fee from OKX. Crypto withdrawals do: the amount is on the screen, and the article does not fix a BTC or ETH figure. A deposit below the minimum may not be credited.
Custody
The terms say client crypto-assets are held separately from OKX’s own. They may be pooled with other clients’ assets, including at sub-custodians, and a shortfall that cannot be reconciled is shared pro rata. Fiat is not held by OKX: it sits in one or more segregated accounts at licensed banks, not in an account in a single user’s name.
What to check before opening an account
Use the official site and verify contacts before responding to requests for funds. Confirm OKX Europe Limited in the agreement and check which spot table matches your account setup. For simple buying, compare the final quote with the crypto amount you will receive.
