Why Should European Crypto Users Act Before 1 July 2026?

The EU's 18-month transitional period under MiCA expires on 1 July 2026. ESMA confirmed that no extensions will be granted (as cited by OKX Europe, May 2026). From that date, any exchange without a MiCA licence from an EU-recognised regulator must stop offering services to EEA residents.EEA residents on exchanges without MiCA authorisation face the risk of being offboarded (a process where the exchange closes their account and returns their funds) with limited notice and not on their preferred timeline. ESMA maintains a public register of authorised CASPs where users can verify whether their current exchange holds a valid licence. Moving to a MiCA-licensed exchange before the deadline gives users control over when and how they transfer.OKX Europe Ltd holds a MiCA licence from the MFSA, making OKX one of the few global exchanges authorised to serve all 30 EEA countries past that deadline.

How Do You Transfer Crypto From MEXC to OKX Step by Step?

The transfer requires three stages. The full process typically takes between 5 and 30 minutes depending on the network selected.Note: Any token not listed on OKX, such as USDT, ain't transferable.

Stage 1: Get Your OKX Deposit Address

Log in to your OKX account
Go to Assets > Deposit
Search for the asset you are depositing (e.g. USDC, BTC, ETH)
Select the network: this must match what you select on MEXC. Sending on a mismatched network results in permanent loss of funds
Copy the deposit address or save the QR code

Network matching is critical. If you select Ethereum (ERC-20) on OKX, you must also select Ethereum on MEXC. Confirm this on both platforms before proceeding.

Stage 2: Withdraw From MEXC to OKX

Log in to MEXC and go to Wallets > Withdraw
Select the asset you are withdrawing (e.g. USDC)
Paste the OKX deposit address copied in Stage 2
Select the network and confirm it matches the network selected on OKX
Enter the withdrawal amount and review the network fee displayed by MEXC
Complete any security verification steps (e.g. two-factor authentication) and submit

Travel Rule notice. For transfers above €1,000, the EU's Travel Rule (Transfer of Funds Regulation, in effect since 30 December 2024) requires OKX to collect sender and recipient information. When your deposit arrives, OKX may ask you to confirm whether the funds came from a private wallet or another exchange, and to provide the sender's full name. The sender's name must match the identity verification (KYC) details on your OKX account to avoid delays. For transfers above €1,000 from a private wallet, proof of wallet ownership may also be required.

Stage 3: Confirm Arrival on OKX

Return to your OKX account and go to Assets > Transaction history > Deposits
The transaction appears as "pending" while the blockchain processes it
Once the required block confirmations are reached (typically 1 to 6, depending on the network), funds appear in your OKX spot wallet

Step	Action	Where
1	Generate deposit address and select network	OKX > Assets > Deposit
2	Initiate withdrawal with matching network	MEXC > Wallets > Withdraw
3	Confirm funds arrived	OKX > Transaction history

Why Can't USDT Be Traded on OKX?

USDT (Tether USD) cannot be traded on OKX because Tether Ltd has not obtained MiCA authorisation from any EU-recognised regulator (as of June 2026). MiCA requires stablecoins offered to EU retail users to be issued by an entity holding an e-money institution (EMI) licence or asset-referenced token (ART) authorisation within the EU. Tether Ltd holds neither.A USDT deposit will arrive in your OKX account, but the funds will be frozen and cannot be used for trading, Earn products, or any other transaction.

Two MiCA-compliant alternatives are fully supported on OKX for deposit, trading, and withdrawal:

USDC (USD Coin), issued by Circle Internet Financial, LLC
USDG (Global Dollar), issued by Paxos Trust Company

What Are OKX's Fees?

OKX uses a tiered maker/taker model. Maker fees (limit orders that add liquidity) and taker fees (market orders that remove liquidity). Deposits are free. Withdrawal fees vary by asset and network.Users who hold on to a balance of 100,000+ euros or reaching a higher 30-day trading volume threshold qualify for reduced fees. Full fee schedules can be found at okx200.com/en-eu/fees.

What Products Does OKX Offer?

Frequently Asked Questions

The Travel Rule is an EU regulation (Transfer of Funds Regulation) requiring exchanges to share sender and recipient information on crypto transfers. It has applied to all EEA crypto transactions since 30 December 2024. For transfers above €1,000, OKX will ask you to confirm whether funds came from a private wallet or another exchange and to provide the sender's full name. The name must match your KYC details on OKX. For private wallet transfers above €1,000, proof of wallet ownership may also be required. Transfers below €1,000 from another exchange are generally processed without additional steps.

Transfer times depend on the network. Ethereum typically takes 5 to 15 minutes; faster networks such as Solana or Polygon can confirm in under 2 minutes. MEXC may apply a processing delay on first-time withdrawals to new addresses as a security check.

OKX supports Ethereum (ERC-20), BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), Solana, Polygon, Tron (TRC-20), Arbitrum, Optimism, and others depending on the asset. The current list for each asset is shown on the OKX deposit page at the time of the transaction.

A USDT deposit will arrive in your account but the funds cannot be traded or used in any way on OKX.

OKX sets a minimum deposit threshold per asset. The minimum is shown on the deposit page at the time of the transaction. Deposits below the minimum will not be credited.

Funds sent on a mismatched network may be unrecoverable. OKX reviews cross-chain recovery requests case by case, but recovery is not guaranteed and can take several weeks. Always verify the network on both platforms before submitting.

OKX supports euro deposits and withdrawals via SEPA bank transfer at no charge. Users can also purchase crypto directly with euros through the 'Buy Crypto' section of the OKX app or website.
