Bitpanda adds stocks and ETFs in universal exchange expansion

Bitpanda is expanding beyond cryptocurrencies to offer stocks and exchange-traded funds on the same platform.

The Vienna-based exchange said it will open access to around 10,000 stocks and ETFs from 29 January.

Users will be able to trade traditional financial products alongside crypto assets within a single app.

Bitpanda said stock and ETF trades will carry a flat fee of one euro per transaction.

The company said there will be no additional order flow, custody, or withdrawal charges.

Bitpanda described the move as part of its push toward a universal exchange model.

The expansion reflects a broader trend of crypto platforms adding traditional finance products.

“Now comes the next evolution, for Bitpanda and for the financial market: for the first time, we’re bringing all markets and asset classes together in a single app,”

Eric Demuth said.

The offering will provide access to real stocks rather than tokenised shares.

Bitpanda said the service will be available across the European Union.

Other major crypto exchanges are also pursuing similar universal exchange strategies.

Research firms have described the shift as a race to build crypto super apps.
