How we decide which digital assets to add on Bitpanda - 2022 edition

A great deal of time has passed since Bitpanda was founded in 2014. As time went by, the industry evolved and the needs of our community changed, and so did we: now Bitpanda is home to more than 1,000 digital assets between cryptocurrencies, ETFs*, stocks*, precious metals and crypto indices, with more joining on a weekly basis.

While we’re growing and expanding to become the leading European investment platform, complying with the regulations from authorities remains paramount. That’s why we follow an extensive process to decide which digital assets will be listed on Bitpanda. 

First things first, we find potential assets we think you’d like to invest in. How do we do it? Our team explores the market and researches various digital assets that could represent a valuable addition to Bitpanda. 

There are many factors we need to consider: though a trending crypto or a specific stock* may be getting a lot of attention at a certain point in time, we need to check that it’s compatible with the regulations we follow, a reliable asset, and that it will remain relevant for our community in the future.

When a potential asset fulfils our standards, it goes into the trusted hands of our asset listing committee, which is a cross-functional team that conducts intensive research into compliance with the regulations, relevance and other metrics associated with short-listed assets.

The potential assets are subject to assessments from several departments at Bitpanda: this is a time-intensive process because we want to ensure our customers’ safety. In the world of investing, new assets spring up constantly, but this doesn’t mean that all of them are legitimate investment opportunities.

Tell us which digital assets you’d like us to list

All BEST VIPs of level 2 and up can vote for the assets they’d like to see listed on Bitpanda. During the last BEST VIP Asset Vote, you voted the winning tokens and we happily added them on Bitpanda: Flow (FLOW), Gala (GALA), Mina (MINA), Immutable X (IMX), dYdX (DYDX) and Helium (HNT).

We regularly check your requests on social media: tell us which digital assets you'd like to see on Bitpanda on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, LinkedIn, Discord and in our official Telegram channels.

Please remember that we hear you, but we can’t always accommodate your requests: assets that don’t pass our screening criteria won’t make it to Bitpanda, no matter the number of requests or messages. Only relevant and legally compliant digital assets that can bring value to your portfolio without jeopardising your investing experience will be listed on Bitpanda.
