Bitpanda review: score, licensing and risks
78/100SCORE · BTrusted
Grade B, very good
Bitpanda is an Austrian exchange with MiCA authorisation and a long list of national registrations, offering crypto alongside stocks, ETFs and metals. Its record is clean. The consumer app prices by spread and is expensive, so use Bitpanda Pro for anything meaningful.
