Bitvavo

This deserves a moment 🎨🏆 We’re proud to share that our Traders campaign has been shortlisted twice at the Spanish advertising festival c de c - club de creatividad, in the Craft category for Art Direction and Photography. With this campaign, we set out to capture a different side of crypto. One that moves away from the usual noise, and instead focuses on a more grounded, human perspective on trading. We believe crypto should feel understandable, relevant, and part of real life. Being recognised for our story at one of Spain’s leading creative festivals makes this moment even more meaningful.

In a market where costs aren't always easy to compare, clear pricing matters. A recent study by the Frankfurt School Blockchain Center and intas.tech confirms Bitvavo leads the way in cost efficiency for German traders. In collaboration with Statista, they analyzed the total costs across nine MiCAR-regulated providers in Germany, offering a clearer benchmark for understanding trading costs from a retail perspective. The research examined how much retail investors actually pay when trading crypto-assets across multiple platforms. It used standardized buy and sell transactions across six cryptocurrencies, with €100 and €500 order sizes. Trades were carried out via each platform’s app at different times and on different days between 14 January and 8 February 2026, reflecting both fees and spread-related costs. Depending on the platform, users pay between 0.53% and 6.45% total costs per roundtrip, highlighting just how much pricing can vary. From fees to spreads and platform-specific pricing structures, total costs can differ significantly and are often less transparent. As the industry continues to mature, transparency around pricing becomes increasingly important for investors navigating the market. Read more on the study results: https://lnkd.in/eDV8m4ny

Vienna moves at its own pace. Quiet confidence. Long-term thinking. A sense that money and life should feel under control. Last week, we were there for the first time at Börsentage in Vienna: meeting people, hearing how they think about investing, and what they expect from platforms like ours. From conversations with Benedict von Lucke (Virtune), Thomas Böttcher (Börsentage) Sandra Urbahn  and Kim Jones (Bitvavo), one thing stood out: people want clarity, control, and a way to move forward with confidence. That’s what we’re building at Bitvavo. A place where investing doesn’t feel overwhelming. Where you can explore what’s next, at your own speed. And stay in control, no matter how the market moves. Because finance should fit into real life, not the other way around. Wherever you are in Europe. #Bitvavo

🚀 New Study: The Cost of Crypto-Trading for Retail Investors How much does it actually cost to trade crypto-assets on popular apps? Frankfurt School Blockchain Center and intas.tech analysed the total costs retail investors face when trading crypto-assets across major crypto-trading providers in Germany. Using a standardized methodology, the study executed 432 real trading roundtrips - consisting of the purchase and immediate sale of the same crypto-asset - across six crypto-assets and nine MiCAR-regulated providers. The results show substantial differences in average total costs between providers - ranging from 0.53% to 6.45%. These differences are not only driven by explicit trading fees, but also by spreads and platform-specific cost structures that are often difficult for users to compare. 📊 The study provides a data-driven benchmark for evaluating crypto-trading costs from a retail investor perspective. 📄 Download the full EN report here: [https://lnkd.in/d6SsMmSf] 📄 Download the full DE report here: [https://lnkd.in/dxzbZyWe] #Crypto #Blockchain #CryptoAssets #FinTech #MiCAR #CryptoTrading #intastech #FSBC
