Beginning Jan. 29, Bitpanda, the Vienna-based crypto exchange, will offer access to about 10,000 stocks and ETFs across the European Union. The rollout aims to let users trade traditional financial products alongside cryptocurrencies in a single app as part of a universal exchange model.
Bitpanda said trades will carry a flat fee of about $1.2 per transaction, with no added order flow, custody, or withdrawal charges. The company described the move as an effort to simplify investing across asset classes.
The platform will provide access to real stocks rather than tokenized shares, and the service will be available EU-wide. The company positioned the feature as a unification of markets and asset classes for retail users.
“Eleven years ago, we made crypto simple and secure for everyone. 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.” said Eric Demuth, chairman and co-founder of Bitpanda.
Other major centralized crypto exchanges have pursued similar moves. In April 2025, Kraken announced support for 11,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs with commission-free trading, and Coinbase launched stock trading late in 2025 while rebranding its wallet as an “everything app”.
Analysis by Delphi Digital described the trend as a “super app” race and predicted an “aggregation era” for the industry.
