OKX reports trading increase after expansion into US, EU
OKX's trading volume in licensed markets surged 53-fold in 2025 following its expansion into the US and the EU under MiCA.Summary
Crypto exchange OKX reported a massive 53-fold increase in trading volume across its licensed and regulated markets in 2025, attributing this surge to its expansion into the United States and the European Economic Area (EEA).
The exchange noted that daily active wallets doubled over the past year, with approximately 190,000 new wallets created daily. Furthermore, decentralized exchange (DEX) volume globally rose by 262%, while centralized trading increased by 16%.
OKX credits this growth to its focus on licensed access in regulated markets. It secured a license under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework in January, enabling EEA expansion. In the US, its April entry coincided with positive regulatory developments, such as the passage of the GENIUS Act. OKX currently ranks fourth globally among cryptocurrency exchanges by CoinMarketCap metrics.
