Bitpanda Explores Public Listing, Excludes London in Favor of New York or Frankfurt
Cryptocurrency exchange Bitpanda is accelerating plans for a potential public listing, with co-founder Eric Demuth signaling greater urgency than before. The Vienna-based firm has ruled out London as a destination, citing poor liquidity on the London Stock Exchange. "Currently, everybody's moving away from the LSE," Demuth told the Financial Times.
New York emerges as a leading contender, buoyed by U.S. government support for digital assets. The recent NYSE debut of Bullish—parent company of CoinDesk—alongside Circle and eToro, underscores the appeal of U.S. markets. Frankfurt remains under consideration given Bitpanda's strong European revenue base.
