The Olky Group has become the majority shareholder of the cryptocurrency exchange Deskoin.
Already a strategic partner since 2025, the Olky Group is accelerating its expansion into Web3 and has partnered with Deskoin—which recently received MiCA authorization—to build a bridge between traditional finance and cryptoassets.
July 16, 2026: The Olky Group, a major player in the European payment services sector, announced today that it has acquired a majority stake in the French crypto-asset exchange platform Deskoin. This marks a major strategic turning point, coming at a historic milestone for Deskoin: the granting of its license as a crypto-asset service provider under MiCA.
Originally registered as a PSAN, Deskoin has established itself as a trusted player in the crypto world. Its platform enables more than 50,000 users (individuals and professionals) to buy, trade, and sell more than 120 cryptoassets securely and in full compliance with regulations.
Having acquired a stake in Deskoin in December 2024 as part of a strategic fundraising round, the Olky Group has now reached a decisive milestone by becoming its majority shareholder.
