A Strategic Move for European Growth
Germany and Poland represent two of Europe’s most dynamic and forward-thinking digital economies. With rising interest in cryptocurrency adoption, strong tech infrastructures, and increasing regulatory clarity, these countries are ideal launchpads for building a sustainable crypto future.
Our entry into these markets goes beyond offering trading services. It’s about creating localized experiences that align with user expectations—whether that’s seamless Euro on- and off-ramps, intuitive interface design, or responsive customer support in native languages.
To lead this regional expansion, we’re proud to welcome two seasoned leaders to our team:
- Moritz Putzhammer, General Manager for Central Europe and the Nordics
- Gabriel Manduca, General Manager for Eastern Europe
Both bring extensive expertise in centralized (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), with proven track records in navigating complex regulatory environments and building strategic partnerships. Their leadership ensures that OKX doesn’t just enter these markets—we integrate into them meaningfully.

Celebrating With Impact: Launch Events in Berlin and Warsaw
To celebrate our official launch, we hosted vibrant events in Berlin and Warsaw, bringing together industry leaders, regulators, developers, and community members.
A standout moment was the premiere of our original short film, _Mild Mild West_—a creative reimagining of crypto’s “wild west” narrative. The film symbolizes our industry’s shift from unregulated chaos toward maturity, accountability, and trust. It’s not just a story; it’s a declaration of where we’re headed.
But we don’t rely on symbolism alone. Our actions back our vision:
- 31 consecutive monthly Proof of Reserves reports—demonstrating unwavering transparency
- Active preparation for full compliance under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation
- Among the first global exchanges to pursue full licensing under evolving European frameworks
This combination of innovation and responsibility sets a new benchmark for what a modern crypto exchange should be.
