On May 21, The Block reported that major trading company IG Europe has partnered with Bitpanda to expand its digital asset business in the European Union. In recent months, IG Europe has taken several measures to grow its cryptocurrency operations, including the acquisition of the Australian cryptocurrency exchange Independent Reserve and obtaining a MiCA license, allowing it to offer cryptocurrency products and services across the EU. IG also sold its futures trading platform Small Exchange Inc, which it acquired in 2023, to Kraken. IG Europe GmbH is the European subsidiary of the UK-based online trading company IG Group, and is regulated by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) in Germany.
