Trading giant IGG, which began offering crypto trading in the UK a year ago, said it plans to expand its services across Europe, without disclosing a timeline.
The European arm of the London-listed investment platform will leverage crypto exchange Bitpanda’s infrastructure, including liquidity, trading connectivity and market data, to provide European investors with access to digital assets, according to an emailed statement on Thursday.
The company this week reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of £331.2 million ($445 million), of which spot crypto accounted for £2.4 million ($3.2 million).
IG, which introduced spread betting to the UK in the early 1970s, is one of Europe’s best-known retail trading platforms, providing customers with access to the equities, foreign exchange, commodities and derivatives markets. It has 1.3 million customers worldwide.
Bitpanda is primarily licensed in Austria and is headquartered in Vienna. The exchange also holds licenses under the European Union’s Market for Cryptocurrency (MiCA) regulations in Germany and Malta, allowing it to provide crypto services throughout the region.
