Raiffeisen to offer crypto trading across 11 European markets via Bitpanda

Austrian banking group Raiffeisen will offer crypto trading across 11 European markets, with Bitpanda providing the underlying infrastructure.

The partnership could extend digital asset access to about 18 million customers across the Raiffeisen network of banks.

For beginners When traditional retail banks add crypto trading through a partner, it lowers the barrier for ordinary bank customers to buy digital assets directly from an account they already trust, without needing a separate crypto exchange.
