Major trading firm IG Europe has tapped Bitpanda to expand its digital asset offerings in the EU, according to an announcement on Thursday. The move is part of parent company IG Global’s expanding crypto footprint.
"This partnership broadens our product offering across Europe, giving experienced investors access to a wider range of asset classes with the quality and security they demand," IG Europe Managing Director Esteve Jane said. "Our clients want crypto exposure from a platform they trust. This partnership delivers it."
IG Europe GmbH is the European subsidiary of IG Group, the major UK-based online trading company. IG Europe is regulated by BaFin in Germany.
In recent months, the organization has made several moves to expand its crypto operations, including acquiring Australian crypto exchange Independent Reserve and obtaining a MiCA license enabling it to offer crypto products and services across the European Union.
IG also sold a futures exchange platform acquired in 2023, Small Exchange Inc, to Kraken, as part of a collaboration with the global cryptocurrency exchange.
