flatexDEGIRO brings low-cost crypto trading to France, the Netherlands, Spain, and Austria as rollout expands

(IN BRIEF) flatexDEGIRO has expanded its crypto trading services to France, the Netherlands, Spain, and Austria, extending access to more than two million customers across Europe. Building on its launch in Germany in December 2024 and recognition as “Best Crypto Broker” by Broker-Wahl 2025, the platform now offers 24/7 trading in around 20 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, with minimum orders starting at one euro and no custody fees. The broker’s model, based on fixed spreads, fixed commissions, and transparent reference pricing, is designed to eliminate hidden costs that often burden crypto investors. CEO Oliver Behrens said the move supports the company’s mission to become Europe’s leading wealth-building platform, with additional products such as staking and crypto savings plans planned for future rollout.

(PRESS RELEASE) FRANKFURT AM MAIN, 8-Sep-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — flatexDEGIRO, one of Europe’s leading online brokers, has expanded its crypto trading offering to four additional markets, giving more than two million customers access to digital assets at transparent and predictable costs. After launching the service in Germany in December 2024 and extending it to DEGIRO customers in Germany during the second quarter of 2025, the company recently added Austria in August. With the latest launches in France, the Netherlands, and Spain, crypto trading is now available to DEGIRO’s key markets across Europe.

The platform enables customers to trade around 20 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, 24 hours a day and seven days a week, with minimum order sizes starting at just one euro. Its pricing model is built on continuous reference prices sourced from multiple liquid trading venues, combined with fixed spreads and fixed commissions. Custody fees are not applied, ensuring maximum cost transparency for customers.

Oliver Behrens, CEO of flatexDEGIRO, emphasised the importance of fair and accessible pricing: “Cryptocurrencies can provide an additional layer of diversification for investors. Our goal is to give customers access to a comprehensive investment universe and to establish flatexDEGIRO as Europe’s leading platform for wealth building. Transparency and fair pricing are especially critical in crypto, where hidden costs remain widespread.”

In Germany, flatex’s early success in this segment was recognised when it was named “Best Crypto Broker” by Broker-Wahl 2025 just months after the launch. To reinforce transparency, flatexDEGIRO has also commissioned the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management to carry out long-term research into actual trading costs, helping investors compare and make informed decisions.

Further rollouts are planned across additional markets throughout 2025. Looking ahead, flatexDEGIRO intends to broaden its offering with new features such as staking and crypto savings plans, extending its position as a leading pan-European broker providing low-cost access to traditional and digital investments alike.
