Austria’s Bitpanda announced Wednesday it is set to launch a unified investing platform that brings stocks, ETFs, crypto and precious metals together in a single regulated app.

The expanded platform will go live on 29 January giving users access to more than 10,000 stocks and ETFsalongside Bitpanda’s existing crypto and metals products.

A Unified Investment Platform Goes Live

With the launch, Bitpanda said it will allow customers to invest across all major asset classes from one interface for the first time. The platform combines Europe’s largest crypto offering with equities, ETFs and precious metals, creating what the company describes as the continent’s broadest investment universe within a single app.

Users will also be able to trade both whole and fractional shares allowing smaller investors to gain exposure to high-priced stocks and diversified ETF products without committing large amounts of capital upfront.

€1 Flat-Fee Trading and Transparent Pricing

Bitpanda said its expanded equities offering covers around 8,000 stocks and 2,500 ETFs all available at a flat fee of €1 per trade. The company said the pricing model includes no hidden commissions, no custody fees and no payment for order flow.

Automatic tax withholding will be available from day one for users in Austria and Germany, simplifying compliance for retail investors in those markets. Bitpanda said this approach reflects its continued focus on transparency.

New Features and User Experience

The new features include free deposits and withdrawals, zero-cost savings plans for stocks and ETFs and advanced order types such as limit orders.

Bitpanda explains its users will also be able to transfer existing portfolios into Bitpanda in just a few clicks allowing them to manage their entire investment portfolio from a single app.

Eric Demuth, chairman and co-founder of Bitpanda, said the launch marks a major step for both the company and the broader financial market. “Eleven years ago, we made crypto simple and secure for everyone,” he said. “Now comes the next evolution: for the first time, we’re bringing all markets and asset classes together in a single app.”

Brand Campaign and Market Positioning

The transformation into a unified investment platform will be supported by a pan-European communications campaign featuring Christoph Waltz as Bitpanda’s brand ambassador.

The campaign will roll out across multiple channels and include activation initiatives such as a Twitch Streamer Challenge and educational content formats.

Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, CEO of Bitpanda, said the goal is to lower barriers to entry and make investing more accessible. “With our €1 flat fee per trade and free savings plans for stocks and ETFs, we’re making investing as easy and intuitive as our market-leading crypto offering,” he said.

Bitpanda Weighs Frankfurt IPO in H1 2026

Bitpanda is lining up for a Frankfurt stock market debut in the first half of 2026, putting one of Europe’s biggest retail crypto platforms on a path from bull market beneficiary to public market test.

The Vienna-based company could seek a valuation of €4B to €5B ($4.6B – $5.8B), and it has tapped Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Deutsche Bank to help arrange the offering. Some see a first-quarter listing as a live option.
