The world of digital assets is evolving rapidly, and one of the most dynamic regions leading this transformation is Latin America. At the forefront of this movement, Argentina has emerged as a powerhouse in crypto adoption—driven by economic innovation, growing financial inclusion, and increasing demand for decentralized financial solutions. Today, we’re proud to announce a pivotal step in our global journey: OKX has officially launched its full-featured crypto exchange and Web3 services in Argentina.
This expansion isn't just another market entry—it's a strategic commitment to empowering Argentinians with secure, accessible, and innovative tools to participate in the future of finance.
A Strategic Move into One of Latin America’s Top Crypto Markets
Argentina ranks among the top countries in Latin America for cryptocurrency adoption, with millions already using digital assets for savings, payments, and investment. Rising inflation, currency volatility, and limited access to traditional financial systems have accelerated the shift toward decentralized alternatives. As a result, Argentinians are increasingly turning to crypto as a means of wealth preservation and financial autonomy.
With over 50 million users worldwide, OKX brings proven expertise in security, liquidity, and user experience. Our localized platform is tailored to meet the unique needs of Argentine users, offering seamless onboarding, local language support, and compliance with regional regulations.

What Argentine Users Can Expect from OKX
The launch includes a comprehensive suite of services designed to support both new and experienced users in navigating the crypto ecosystem:
- Crypto Trading & Staking: Access to hundreds of digital assets with deep liquidity, competitive fees, and advanced trading options including spot, futures, and margin trading.
- OKX P2P (Peer-to-Peer): Buy and sell crypto directly with verified local users using Argentine pesos (ARS), ensuring fast, low-cost transactions without intermediaries.
- Non-Custodial OKX Wallet: A secure gateway to Web3—enabling users to manage DeFi portfolios, interact with dApps, collect NFTs, and explore blockchain-based gaming.
- Monthly Proof of Reserves: Transparent reporting that verifies all user funds are fully backed, reinforcing trust and accountability.
These features combine to create a powerful, all-in-one platform that supports every stage of a user’s crypto journey—from first purchase to advanced decentralized finance strategies.
Strengthening Security: ISO/IEC 27001 Certification Achieved
Trust is the foundation of any financial system. That’s why we’re proud to announce that OKX has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, the world’s most recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS). This rigorous third-party validation confirms that our security protocols meet the highest international benchmarks for data protection, risk management, and operational resilience.
For Argentine users, this means peace of mind knowing their personal data and digital assets are safeguarded by a platform that exceeds global security expectations.
Powering Web3 Innovation: OKX Pay and the Future of Crypto Payments
As adoption grows, so does the need for practical utility. That’s why we’ve launched OKX Pay, a next-generation crypto payment solution integrated directly within the OKX app. Designed for real-world use, OKX Pay enables users to make instant crypto transactions with ease—whether splitting bills, sending remittances, or paying for goods and services.
While initially rolling out in select markets, OKX Pay represents the future of frictionless digital payments—one that will soon be available to users across Latin America.

Institutional Advancement: Collateral Mirroring with Standard Chartered
Beyond retail innovation, OKX continues to lead in institutional-grade services. Our groundbreaking collateral mirroring program with Standard Chartered, in collaboration with Brevan Howard Digital and Franklin Templeton, allows institutional clients to use cryptocurrencies and tokenized money market funds as off-exchange collateral.
This partnership bridges traditional finance and digital assets—enhancing capital efficiency while leveraging the security of a globally systemically important bank (G-SIB) as custodian. It’s a major step toward mainstream integration and regulatory acceptance.
Expanding Across Europe: Spain, Germany, and Poland Now Live
Our global momentum extends beyond Latin America. OKX has recently launched fully regulated centralized exchanges in Spain, Germany, and Poland through MiCA passporting from our Malta headquarters. These expansions reflect our commitment to compliant growth in regulated jurisdictions—providing European users with secure access to high-performance trading platforms under strict oversight.
Each launch underscores our belief that responsible innovation must go hand-in-hand with regulatory cooperation.
