London-listed IG will leverage Bitpanda’s infrastructure to offer digital asset trading to European clients after a U.K. launch last year.
London-listed trading platform IG will expand its cryptocurrency trading services across Europe using Bitpanda’s infrastructure. The move follows the introduction of spot crypto trading for U.K. retail clients in 2025, though no timeline was provided for the European rollout.
IG reported first-quarter revenue of 331.2 million pounds ($445 million), with spot crypto contributing 2.4 million pounds ($3.2 million). The firm, which pioneered financial spread betting in the U.K. in the 1970s, serves 1.3 million global clients and offers access to equities, forex, and derivatives markets.
Bitpanda, licensed in Austria and Germany under the EU’s MiCA regulation, will provide liquidity, trading connectivity, and market data for IG’s European expansion. The partnership aims to broaden digital asset access for retail investors in the region.
