Bitpanda, which already serves a global clientele that includes some of the world’s leading financial institutions, sees this partnership as a key step in strengthening its presence in the MENA region.

The company reported substantial growth in recent months, with its user base surpassing 5 million retail investors as of June. This marks a 25% increase in retail traders during the second quarter alone. The growth reflects a surge in interest in cryptocurrency trading across Europe.

In addition to its expansion into the MENA region, Bitpanda has also deepened its partnership with Deutsche Bank, enabling real-time payment solutions in Germany.

The initiative, which includes access to German IBANs through an API-based account solution, underscores Bitpanda’s commitment to enhancing user experience and solidifying its position as a leading crypto trading platform in Europe.

“Bitpanda Technology Solutions has already helped traditional banks such as Raiffeisen and LBBW, as well as fintech leaders like N26, Mambu, Plum, and Hype, introduce regulated, secure, and innovative investment platforms to their customers,” the company said.

Bitpanda, RAKBANK Partner For Crypto Management Platform

Last week, the National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah (RAKBANK), a government-owned financial institution in the UAE, partnered with Bitpanda Technology Solutions to develop a digital asset management platform for UAE residents.

The new service will offer RakBank customers in the UAE access to a wide range of digital asset use cases. However, the project remains subject to approval by the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates (CBUAE).

Abu Dhabi has been actively attracting crypto service providers and Web3 companies, establishing itself as a cryptocurrency hub.

In May 2024, crypto options trading platform QCP Capital received in-principle approval for regulated digital asset activities from ADGM. QCP is now the first Singapore-based crypto market maker and broker to receive a preliminary license in the region.

Additionally, popular firm Chainalysis recently established regional headquarters in Dubai. The company is actively engaging with local government stakeholders to provide advice on regulatory development in the crypto industry.
