Crypto exchange OKX Europe has acquired a Malta-licensed firm with a Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) license, bringing it a step closer to offering regulated derivatives products throughout Europe, the firm said in a statement on Wednesday.

The entity is expected to become operational later this year, once the exchange gets approval from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). The exchange did not say which firm it acquired.
