Bunq, the second-largest neobank in Europe, has officially launched Bunq Crypto, enabling users across multiple countries to invest in over 300 cryptocurrencies directly from its app. This strategic expansion reflects growing demand from European consumers for simplified access to digital assets through trusted financial institutions.
Bunq Crypto Launches in Six Countries
As of April 29, users in the Netherlands, France, Spain, Ireland, Italy, and Belgium can access Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and hundreds more within the Bunq app.
- Powered by Kraken, one of the largest global crypto exchanges.
- First step in a larger plan to expand across the European Economic Area, United States, and United Kingdom.
Regulatory Clarity Drives Bunq’s Move
Ali Niknam, CEO of Bunq, told Cointelegraph:
“We’ve seen a lot of regulatory clarity emerge in recent months, and as a regulated entity, we now feel confident offering crypto to the general public.”
Bunq's expansion comes amid increasing consumer appetite for trusted crypto investment platforms embedded in banking apps.
Demand for Unified Financial Platforms
Bunq’s internal research found:
- 65% of Europeans want a single app for banking, saving, and crypto investing.
- Over 50% of investors are dissatisfied with current crypto platforms due to complexity and security concerns.
“Now, everything they need to save, spend and invest — including crypto — is on one platform,” Niknam emphasized.
This trend aligns with comments from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, who predicts the future of finance will be anchored by a single unified financial account.
Bunq Joins Europe's Crypto-Enabled Banking Wave
- Bunq’s move follows Revolut’s expansion of its crypto services across 30 European markets in late 2024.
- Bunq now serves 12.5 million users, up from 9 million a year earlier — making it a major player in Europe’s neobank + crypto convergence.
