Crypto platform Bitpanda returns, providing investors with an array of 600 digital tokens for selection
Bitpanda, a European cryptocurrency platform, has made its return to the UK market, following approval from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in February. This move comes at a time when Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are experiencing record highs, according to Bitpanda, attracting significant investment from global players.
A Wide Range of Digital Assets
One of the unique offerings of Bitpanda in the UK market is its access to the largest selection of digital assets, with over 600 cryptocurrencies available—more than any other UK platform. This wide range includes major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, emerging tokens, stablecoins, DeFi tokens, NFTs, and curated cryptoindices.
User-Friendly Design and Strong Security
Bitpanda prides itself on its simple, intuitive interface, designed to cater to both beginners and experienced investors. Features such as auto-invest plans, localised GBP funding, and educational content are provided to promote informed, long-term investing. Additionally, Bitpanda boasts strong security credentials, with ISO 27001 enterprise-grade security certification, audited infrastructure, encryption, multi-factor authentication, and cold wallet storage.
Institutional-Grade B2B Services
The launch includes a B2B infrastructure arm (Bitpanda Technology Solutions) aimed at offering crypto products and services to banks and fintechs in the UK, a service not commonly emphasized by other retail platforms.
Strategic Partnerships
Bitpanda has entered into strategic partnerships with several football clubs, including Paris St Germain, Bayern Munich, and AC Milan, as well as with the ATP tour. The platform's partnership with Arsenal Football Club, announced as its 'official crypto trading partner', is part of its strategy to associate with the best brands as it enters important markets.
Crypto Staking and Savings Plans
Bitpanda's services also include crypto staking, allowing users to earn rewards for using their crypto to help the blockchain network run smoothly. Additionally, the platform will offer staking and savings plans.
Global Adoption of Cryptocurrencies
While Europe is expected to be slower in adopting cryptocurrencies compared to the US, the financial industry is globally connected. Changes in the US, such as the government's focus on stablecoins and crypto as key tenets of their financial and economic strategy, are likely to influence the European market in the future.
With over seven million customers across Europe and partnerships with major European players like Deutsche Bank, Société Générale, Raiffeisen, and LBBW, Bitpanda is well-positioned to lead the way in the UK and European cryptocurrency markets.
