Raiffeisen is preparing to make cryptocurrency trading available across 11 European markets through an infrastructure partnership with Bitpanda, according to Cointelegraph. Bitpanda will supply the technology and services supporting crypto access for banks within the Raiffeisen network. The arrangement could broaden digital-asset availability to approximately 18 million customers. The announcement represents a potential expansion of crypto trading through established banking channels, although the supplied information does not specify a launch date, the assets that will be offered, or which individual Raiffeisen network banks will participate. It also does not provide details on fees, custody arrangements, or regulatory conditions. The initiative links Bitpanda’s crypto infrastructure with Raiffeisen’s regional banking network, creating a pathway for customers in multiple European markets to access digital assets through their banking relationships.
