Bunq Enters Crypto Market, Offers Over 300 Coins in App

Bunq, Europe’s second-largest neobank, has launched a new crypto feature , allowing users to invest in more than 300 digital currencies — including Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana — through its app. This service, introduced on April 29, is now available in six countries: the Netherlands, France, Spain, Ireland, Italy, and Belgium. The new feature, called Bunq Crypto, was created in response to increasing demand from retail investors. CEO Ali Niknam said many users want to buy crypto in a trusted, familiar environment. A clearer regulatory outlook in Europe also made the timing right for Bunq to step into digital assets. Bunq is partnering with Kraken , one of the world’s largest centralized exchanges, to power this service. The bank aims to expand its crypto trading offer further into the European Economic Area, as well as the U.S. and U.K., in future phases. Research shows strong user interest in having one platform for banking and crypto . Bunq found that 65% of European consumers want an all-in-one financial app. Over half of current investors said they’re open to crypto but find current platforms too complex or insecure. Bunq now aims to solve that by bundling banking, savings, and crypto investing together. This move follows a growing trend among fintech companies like Revolut, which expanded its crypto services to 30 European markets in late 2024.
