Bitpanda’s British Invasion: 600+ Cryptoassets & Arsenal FC Collide in 2025
London's bulls just got a new rodeo. Bitpanda—Europe's crypto heavyweight—has planted its flag in the UK, flinging open access to 600+ digital assets. And they didn't come alone.
Arsenal FC onboard as partners? Clever. Nothing unites Brits like football and financial FOMO. The Emirates Stadium might as well start accepting DOGE for pies.
Why now? Maybe Bitpanda noticed UK investors were tired of watching from the sidelines while Berlin and Zurich played with digital gold. Or maybe they just love the irony of crypto thriving in the land of 'Keep Calm and Carry On.'
One thing's certain: the FSA's inbox just got 600+ new headaches. Game on.

What a great partnership to kick off UK market entry today.
Now I’ve got two more reasons to visit London more often.

A Platform for Investors of All Levels
Bitpanda said its platform is designed to focus on security, simplicity, and a user-first experience and seeks to set a new standard for cryptoasset investing in the UK.
In addition to its retail services, Bitpanda said it is introducing its B2B infrastructure arm, Bitpanda Technology Solutions (BTS), to the UK market.
BTS allows banks, fintechs, and cryptoasset platforms to develop and offer their own cryptoasset products through white-label integration. The tech is being used by institutional partners, including Deutsche Bank, Société Générale, Raiffeisen, and LBBW.
Local Leadership and Market Expansion
Bitpanda also appointed Pantelis Kotopoulos as UK country director. Backed by a local team, Kotopoulos will focus on building Bitpanda’s market share and improving its user experience for British customers.
“UK investors deserve a platform that matches their ambition,” Kotopoulos said. “At Bitpanda, we’ve built a platform that does exactly that—with more assets, a better and more intuitive user experience.”
Partnership with Arsenal Football Club
As part of its UK launch, Bitpanda said it has entered into a global multi-year partnership with Arsenal Football Club, becoming the club’s Official crypto Trading Partner.
For the bigger goal.@Bitpanda is excited to be the Official Crypto Trading Partner of @Arsenal, united by a shared mentality of ambition and a commitment to long-term success.
Together, we aim to push boundaries, inspire greatness, and achieve the extraordinary.

This collaboration will focus on raising awareness and understanding of digital assets among Arsenal’s fan base, providing education and tools to help supporters engage with their finances securely and responsibly.
Binance Reopens Earn Products to UK Users
Earlier today, Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, announced that it has restored access to its full suite of Binance Earn products for qualifying UK Professional Users.
This follows clarification in UK financial regulation, confirming that staking is exempt from being classed as a collective investment scheme, and a review of how exemptions under the Financial Promotions Order and the Promotion of Collective Investment Scheme Order apply.
