More crypto platforms are edging toward universal exchange ambitions, with research firms predicting a crypto “super app” race.
Bitpanda is expanding beyond digital assets as it moves to offer stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on the same platform, advancing its push toward what it calls a universal exchange model.
Beginning Jan. 29, the Vienna-based crypto exchange will open access to about 10,000 stocks and ETFs, according to a Tuesday announcement shared with Cointelegraph. Bitpanda said the move will allow users to trade traditional financial products alongside cryptocurrencies within a single app.
The company said trades in stocks and ETFs will be priced at a flat fee of 1 euro ($1.17) per transaction, with no additional order flow, custody or withdrawal charges. Bitpanda described the rollout as part of an effort to simplify investing across asset classes.
