Crypto in Trading 212
The company will offer Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other crypto assets, which can be traded from its crypto account, separate from its regular contracts for differences (CFDs) account.
It also explained that cryptocurrency trading will be offered under the Cyprus-regulated Trading 212 Markets, meaning the platform’s European Union users can access these instruments. However, UK users of Trading 212, the platform's primary revenue generator, may be unable to access these instruments.
Trading 212 generated £150 million from brokerage services in the UK in 2024, while the Cypriot unit generated about £42.2 million. However, on the positive side, the broker doubled its Cyprus business revenue.
As a group, Trading 212 ended 2024 with a net profit of £43.7 million on revenue of £194.1 million. Germany’s FXFlat, following its acquisition, added over £1 million to the total figure.
The group figures include the performance of several Trading 212 subsidiaries, which include entities in the UK, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Australia, and FXFlat in Germany. Although the broker now focuses on the UK and EU, it was established in Bulgaria in 2004 as Avus Capital and incorporated in the UK in 2013.
In the UK, the broker is also shifting away from CFDs and towards stockbroking. Trading 212 has also diversified its offerings with multi-currency payment cards.
Trading 212 Is Brewing Its Crypto Strategy
Interestingly, Trading 212 established a dedicated crypto entity in Cyprus last year and also obtained a crypto asset service provider (CASP) licence from the regulator on the Mediterranean island.
Although the broker can offer physical crypto under the new Cyprus entity, its plans with that entity and licence remain unknown.
The latest launch also followed Christos Drakos’s appointment as the lead for the broker’s crypto operations. He previously worked at Revolut and ETX Capital.
However, it is not alone to pivot towards crypto. IG Group, which is the largest broker in the UK, also building its crypto presence. The London-listed broker first launched spot retail crypto trading with a partnership with Uphold and then agreed to buy a Australian crypto exchange. It even registered itself as a crypto service provider with the Financial Conduct Authority.
