OKX Boosts EMEA Compliance Team With Iain Rogers Hire

OKX appoints ex-Pepperstone and Admirals executive Iain Rogers as EMEA compliance head

Brokerage veteran Iain Rogers has joined crypto trading firm OKX as Head of Compliance for the EMEA region.

Rogers most recently worked at Veax Labs, where he led digital assets. Before that, he spent two years as CEO of Turkish-owned broker Finveo, which holds licenses in Montenegro and Mauritius.

He has also held senior roles across the CFD industry for the past 15 years. His past jobs include CEO of Pepperstone UK and the FCA-regulated arm of Admirals.

Before joining Admirals in 2013, Rogers ran his own stockbroking and CFD trading firm, LITE.

OKX still does not have approval from the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. Even so, it accepts clients from the UK, although the product range is narrower than in other regions.
