€1 billion booming fintech platform
Users can trade bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies and gold through the platform of start-up Bitpanda, which is based in Germany with the app of the same name. The fintech was founded in 2014 and is worth over a billion dollars. It claims to have over three million users. This makes it one of the most thriving fintech platforms in Europe.
