About One Trading
One Trading is a consumer-facing crypto-asset exchange operated by One Trading Exchange B.V., a Dutch company headquartered in Amsterdam. According to research drawing on the company's corporate records, the business was founded in 2019 and became a standalone entity in 2022 when it was spun off from Bitpanda (its predecessor venue was Bitpanda Pro). The platform serves both retail and institutional users and lets customers buy and sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and other crypto-assets, rather than being a Bitcoin-only service.

The core offering is spot crypto trading plus custody of crypto-assets, with EUR funding via bank transfer (and, per the research, GBP and CHF support). One Trading also runs a crypto perpetual-futures venue with leverage, which it markets prominently; its own site describes the product as "EU regulated futures" carrying high-risk warnings. The research indicates the platform does not offer savings or DCA, staking, or a payment card. On its homepage One Trading states it holds 145m EUR in assets in custody and describes itself as "trusted by large institutions and retail investors" - these are the company's own statements, not independently verified figures.

On the legal point: the contracting entity is One Trading Exchange B.V., established in the Netherlands and supervised by the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). Under MiCA, its crypto-asset service provider authorisation covers Custody (custody and administration of crypto-assets) and Operating a trading platform, the two services recorded for it in the research. Research dates the MiCA CASP authorisation to 30 June 2025 and notes the firm also holds a MiFID II licence; the leveraged crypto-derivatives (futures) business falls under that MiFID II financial-instruments regime rather than under the MiCA CASP permission. So the MiCA licence answers for spot trading and custody, while the derivatives activity is authorised on a separate legal basis. Sources: AMF CASP white list, One Trading MiCAR approval release

Why is One Trading licensed in Netherlands?
The Netherlands historically had one of the strictest pre-MiCA crypto frameworks, with DNB running a stand-alone Wwft register. AFM is the MiCA-designated competent authority. Bitvavo is the dominant Dutch-licensed CASP; many global exchanges previously withdrew from the Dutch market under pre-MiCA pressure.

| Regulatory context | Marketing rules around crypto are particularly strict; AFM has fined non-compliant promotional activity. |
What does this mean for users of One Trading in the EU?
If you transact through One Trading's EEA-authorised entity (One Trading Exchange B.V.), the protections introduced by MiCA apply to your relationship from onwards.
