OKX threw open a new UAE office after grinding out a full year with its Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority license, and the crypto exchange is doubling down on the Middle East with over 100 people running regional ops. The company has been stacking retail and institutional customers since they got approved back then, and they added regulated derivatives trading while partnering with Standard Chartered on some collateral system.
The fresh office basically becomes their regional command center for customer support and education stuff, with plans to host training sessions and workshops for locals trying to figure out digital assets. The UAE market apparently went hard on its services because of the solid regulatory framework and tech infrastructure the region offers.
OKX is pushing deeper into institutional products and hunting for more partnerships while using the new space as its product development hub. The exchange has been running community events and talent development programs to build up the local scene beyond just offering trading tools.
