Neutral
Even tho di €2.6M OKX fine show say regulatory kontri dem dey check well well, e concern old kaina registration matter and e no affect OKX MiCA-licensed operations. Di size of di punishment na small small compare to di exchange worldwide volume, wey mean say the price no go move much for short term. For long term, better AML compliance plus clear MiCA license fit make market trust and operations stable. Overall, di news na neutral for OKX trading outlook.
