OKX Expands into the UAE with Full License and Local Currency Support
OKX, a leading digital asset trading platform, has secured a full license from the UAE’s financial regulator, the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU). This significant milestone allows OKX to offer its comprehensive range of services, including retail and institutional trading, to investors within the UAE. The platform also announced support for direct deposits and withdrawals in UAE Dirhams, facilitating seamless access to its services for local users.
With the new license, OKX becomes one of the few leading crypto exchanges fully authorized to operate within the UAE. This expansion reflects the growing popularity of digital assets in the region and underscores OKX’s commitment to supporting the development of a secure and regulated crypto ecosystem in the Middle East.
