Bitpanda raised collective eyebrows in the European fintech corridors by opting out of a UK public listing. But why did Bitpanda snub the UK as a potential listing venue, you may ask?

Turns out that the Vienna-based fintech platform, backed by billionaire Peter Thiel, cited poor liquidity of the London Stock Exchange (LSE) as its main reason for opting out of its original plan.

According to a report published by the Financial Times on 26 August 2025, Bitpanda’s CEO, Eric Demuth, said that the company will instead focus on either Frankfurt or New York as its venue of choice when it goes ahead with a public offering.

While no timeline has been formalised, London is definitely off the list.
