WOO X EU Goes Live for European Traders

Payward Services provides the custody and infrastructure rails behind the launch, bringing a MiCA-aligned trading venue to European traders.

MAHÉ, Seychelles, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WOO X, a leading global digital asset exchange, today officially announced the launch of WOO X EU, a dedicated trading platform custom-built to operate in alignment with Europe’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. The rollout is supported by WOO X’s strategic collaboration with Payward Services, the B2B infrastructure platform from Payward, subject to the parties’ respective operating roles and applicable regulatory requirements.

Elevating Asset Safety Under MiCA
The launch of WOO X EU marks a pivotal milestone in WOO X’s global expansion strategy. Built from the ground up around Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) standards, WOO X EU establishes a compliant gateway for European retail and institutional traders seeking high-performance execution within a legally protected framework.
Key highlights of the WOO X EU platform include:

• Customer-Asset Safeguarding: Customer assets are subject to segregation and safeguarding arrangements designed in accordance with applicable requirements. Details of the applicable arrangements, supported assets and user protections are available in WOO X EU’s terms and disclosures.
• EEA Market Readiness: WOO X EU is designed to support a consistent user experience for eligible users in supported EEA jurisdictions. Service availability varies by jurisdiction, product and applicable requirements.
• Enterprise Security Infrastructure: Supported by battle-tested B2B infrastructure and custody rails designed to meet strict European operational risk standards.
  

WOO X EU is now open for account registration by eligible users in supported European Economic Area (EEA) jurisdictions, subject to identity verification, product availability and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. As part of the initial launch phase, deposits and withdrawals are officially live, allowing users to onboard, complete identity verification, and fund their accounts ahead of the platform's upcoming spot trading rollout.

Phased Rollout: Deposits Live, Spot Trading Coming Soon
To ensure an ultra-smooth onboarding experience, WOO X EU is executing a phased operational rollout. Eff  ective immediately, European traders can register their accounts, pass streamlined identity verification, and initiate crypto and fiat deposits and withdrawals.

This foundation prepares the platform for the second phase of the rollout: the launch of WOO X EU Spot Trading, which will give European users access to deep institutional liquidity, tight bid-ask spreads, and millisecond execution speeds on major trading pairs.
