BitPanda

Bitpanda is a Vienna-based investment platform founded in 2014, serving over 7 million users across Europe. Originally launched as a cryptocurrency broker, it has expanded into a multi-asset platform where users can buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies, stocks, ETFs, exchange-traded commodities, and precious metals. The platform operates as a custodial wallet and broker, meaning Bitpanda holds private keys on behalf of users. Assets are secured in offline cold storage, and the company holds ISO 27001 certification for information security management.

The platform supports 650+ cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and a broad range of altcoins and ERC-20 tokens. In addition to spot trading, Bitpanda offers:

• Staking rewards
• Automated savings plans
• A crypto index product
• Bitpanda Spotlight for early access to emerging projects

The native Bitpanda Ecosystem Token (BEST) provides holders with trading fee discounts and other platform benefits. For advanced traders, Bitpanda Fusion aggregates order book liquidity from multiple exchanges and market makers, with over 2,000 trading pairs and institutional-grade limit and stop orders, all on one unified account balance.

Bitpanda is regulated as a crypto asset service provider and securities broker under Austrian Financial Market Authority oversight, and is one of the first platforms to operate under the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, providing passporting rights across all EU member states.

Platforms: web app, iOS, and Android, with no deposit fees for fiat funding via bank transfer, card, or PayPal. Bitpanda also operates a B2B division (Bitpanda Technology Solutions) that licenses its trading infrastructure to partner banks and fintech firms across Europe.
