Bitpanda Expands into UK Market: What Investors Need to Know

Bitpanda, a European digital asset platform, has launched in the UK. The platform allows users to buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrencies, as well as invest in precious metals and other assets. Bitpanda offers a range of features, including a user-friendly interface, low fees, and a variety of payment options. The platform is available on desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.

Vienna-based digital asset platform Bitpanda has entered the UK market, offering British investors access to over 600 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, and other tokens. The platform, which serves over 7 million users in Europe, aims to expand its user base and industry partnerships by leveraging the UK's financial expertise and technological engagement [1].

Bitpanda's UK launch comes with a suite of features designed to cater to the sophisticated investor. The platform provides institutional-grade infrastructure, curated crypto indices, market analysis, and investor education. It has recently obtained its third Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) license from Austria’s Financial Market Authority, following earlier approvals in Germany and Malta [1].

The platform's UK Country Director, Pantelis Kotopoulos, emphasized the company's commitment to offering a comprehensive and secure investment solution. "UK investors deserve a platform that matches their ambition, and at Bitpanda, we've built a platform that does exactly that," Kotopoulos said.

In addition to its retail services, Bitpanda is introducing its B2B infrastructure arm, Bitpanda Technology Solutions (BTS), to the UK market. BTS provides white-label integration services to banks, fintechs, and crypto asset platforms, with existing partnerships including Deutsche Bank, Société Générale, Raiffeisen, and LBBW [1].

Bitpanda's UK expansion underscores the growing interest in cryptocurrencies and digital assets in the region. The platform's user-friendly interface, low fees, and variety of payment options make it an attractive option for investors seeking to diversify their portfolios. With a focus on security and compliance, Bitpanda is poised to become a significant player in the UK's crypto market.
