BITPANDA LAUNCHES IN THE UK - OPENING NEW DOORS FOR CRYPTO INVESTORS
Bitpanda, a standout in the fintech space, first joined the GSA community as a regional winner for Best Fintech in Edition 5 and later as a finalist for Best Fintech Central Europe in Edition 7.
The Austrian-born company now serves over 7 million users across Europe and holds multiple regulatory licenses, consistently making investing accessible and secure. As proud GSA alumni, we’re excited to see Bitpanda continue its expansion.
MAKING WAVES IN THE UK MARKET
Bitpanda officially launches in the UK, offering British investors access to more than 600 digital assets—the most comprehensive selection available in the country. From major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum to emerging tokens, stablecoins, crypto indices, and educational resources, the platform is designed to support both beginners and experienced investors in making informed, long-term investment decisions.
The UK launch was marked by Bitpanda’s multi-year partnership with English Premier League side Arsenal, making the Austrian fintech the club’s Official Crypto Trading Partner. The collaboration will provide VIP experiences, exclusive events, and crypto education to fans. By integrating digital assets into fan experiences, Bitpanda and Arsenal are creating innovative ways for supporters to connect with the club while learning about crypto.
“The UK is a global financial hub and home to investors who are financially knowledgeable and tech-savvy. Demand for crypto assets is growing rapidly, and we are here to serve it. We believe the UK will become one of our largest markets over the next two years, and our goal is simple: to offer the best, safest, and most comprehensive way to invest in crypto assets in the UK. Today’s launch is just the beginning.”
WHY THIS MATTERS FOR THE STARTUPS?
Bitpanda’s UK launch isn’t just a win for individual investors - it’s significant for startups too:
Access to crypto assets: Startups can explore, invest, or integrate digital assets securely.
Education and tools: Bitpanda Academy and analytics help small teams build crypto literacy without external advisors.
B2B growth solutions: Bitpanda Technology Solutions enables fintechs and banks to create white-label investment products, scaling quickly.
Strategic visibility: Partnerships with clubs like Arsenal, PSG, and Bayern show how crypto can boost engagement, branding, and marketing.
Bitpanda’s expansion to the UK is lowering barriers for financial innovation and enabling startups and investors alike to take control of their digital asset strategies. For our GSA alumni network and the wider startup ecosystem, this signals smarter, faster, and more scalable opportunities for growth and innovation.
