Bitpanda has added stocks and ETFs to its platform as part of a broader push to become a universal exchange. Research firms say the move fuels an emerging race among crypto platforms to build the first all-in-one financial "super app."
Bitpanda has hired Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Deutsche Bank to manage a planned Frankfurt listing targeting a roughly $5 billion IPO in 2026. The move signals growing institutionalization of Europe's crypto platforms as they approach public markets.
