IG Group Expands Crypto Trading in Europe via Bitpanda

IG Group is expanding its cryptocurrency offering across Europe through a partnership with Bitpanda.

The move follows IG’s launch of spot crypto trading in the UK earlier this year via Uphold. IG received a UK FCA crypto licence last year, while Bitpanda secured a MiCA licence from Germany’s BaFin.

Under the deal, Bitpanda will provide trading infrastructure, including liquidity and market data. This allows IG Europe to offer crypto services without building its own systems.

“This partnership broadens our product offering across Europe,” said Esteve Jane, Managing Director of IG Europe.

IG Europe is supervised by BaFin. Its parent, IG Group, is listed on London’s FTSE 100 and serves around 1.3 million global clients. No rollout timeline has been announced yet.
