OKX Faces EUR 2.25 Million Fine By Dutch National Bank for Operating Without Registration

The Dutch National Bank fined OKX EUR 2.25 million (roughly Rs. 21.9 crore) for operating without proper registration between 2023 and 2024. The penalty comes under the country’s AML rules, which apply to all crypto firms regardless of size. OKX joins exchanges like Crypto.com and Kraken in facing sanctions. With MiCA now in full effect across the EU, regulators are tightening enforcement, signalling that compliance is non-negotiable for global exchanges aiming to operate in Europe.
