Yes. They are two names for the same authorisation. “CASP” (crypto-asset service provider) is the licence type defined by the EU's MiCA regulation, so “OKX MiCA license”, “OKX MiCA licence”, “OKX CASP license” and “OKX EU license” all mean the same thing. OKX holds this authorisation through OKX Europe Limited.

OKX's EU entity, OKX Europe Limited, is regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), its home-state competent authority under MiCA.

OKX is licensed via OKX Europe Limited, authorised in Malta by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). Thanks to MiCA passporting, that single authorisation lets OKX legally serve clients across 29 EU/EEA countries.

Not exactly. In the EU/EEA, OKX operates through a separate, MiCA-licensed legal entity, OKX Europe Limited, authorised by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). This EU entity is a different company from OKX's global platform and must follow MiCA's rules, which can mean different terms, leverage limits or product availability than OKX's international site. If you are an EU/EEA resident, using the OKX Europe Limited entity is what gives you MiCA-regulated protections.
