The cryptocurrency trading market is undergoing significant changes thanks to SC Ventures' investment in One Trading, recently rebranded from Bitpanda Pro. One Trading has become the first EU platform for crypto derivatives trading compliant under MiFID II directives.
Navigating Through Regulatory Approvals
The journey towards regulatory compliance began with One Trading’s successful acquisition of an Organised Trading Facility (OTF) License from the Dutch Financial Markets Authority in July 2024. This approval highlights the platform’s stringent regulatory standards, making it the first MiFID II-compliant crypto derivatives trading venue in the EU.
Expanding Horizons in Crypto Trading
The initiative to launch crypto derivatives trading in the EU is a strategic move to expand One Trading's services and aligns with the growing demand for more sophisticated trading instruments among retail and institutional investors. It introduces the first cash-settled perpetual futures platform in Europe, geared towards retail clients.
Strategic Importance for the Market
The support from major investors like SC Ventures, MiddleGame Ventures, Valar, and SpeedInvest showcases confidence in the future of regulated crypto markets in Europe. These investments not only fuel One Trading's expansion plans but also signify growing recognition of cryptocurrency as a legitimate and regulated financial asset in the European market.
Meanwhile, the broader Bitpanda ecosystem continues to thrive, positioning itself as a comprehensive investing platform. Recent collaborations and user base expansion underscore its commitment to leading the cryptocurrency investment sector across Europe and the MENA region.
