flatexDEGIRO launches crypto trading in Austria, France, the Netherlands and Spain

• Access to crypto trading for over 2 million flatex and DEGIRO customers
• flatexDEGIRO’s trading model offers customers maximum transparency and low, predictable costs

Pan-European online broker flatexDEGIRO has started its international rollout of crypto trading, making the products available in four additional markets: Austria, France, the Netherlands and Spain.

After the initial product launch at flatex Germany, the offering was extended to DEGIRO customers in Germany during the second quarter of 2025 and to flatex customers in Austria in August 2025.

With today’s market launches in the Netherlands, France and Spain, customers in DEGIRO’s key markets will be able to trade crypto at low and predictable costs, made accessible via the integrated solution of one of the leading online brokers.

flatexDEGIRO offers 24/7 trading of some 20 crypto currencies, including the largest coins Bitcoin and Ethereum, starting at a minimum order size of one Euro. The trading model offers customers maximum transparency and low, predictable costs. It comprises fair reference prices, which are continuously determined across several liquid trading venues, as well as fixed spreads and fixed commissions. flatexDEGIRO does not charge custody fees.

flatexDEGIRO CEO Oliver Behrens said: “Crypto currencies can add another layer of diversification to an investment portfolio. Providing customers with access to a comprehensive investment universe is one element of our strategy to establish flatexDEGIRO as the leading platform for building wealth in Europe. Attractive and transparent pricing is particularly important in crypto trading, where many customers are still being overcharged due to non-transparent costs.”

In Germany, flatex has been offering crypto trading since December 2024 and was named “Best Crypto Broker” by Broker-Wahl 2025 just a few months after launching the service[1].

The Frankfurt School of Finance & Management is currently conducting test purchases on the German market as part of a long-term study commissioned by flatexDEGIRO. It highlights the importance of considering total costs and is intended to enable investors to make an informed and sustainable comparison[2].

Further country rollouts are expected to take place during 2025. In the future, flatexDEGIRO plans to introduce further products and features, such as staking and crypto savings plans.
