Bitpanda, a global bitcoin and crypto exchange, announced it will add Swiss franc (CHF) markets for select cryptocurrencies on March 3rd, 2020.
Aside from listing new crypto-to-Swiss Franc trading pairs, the exchange will take most crypto-to-crypto trading pairs offline (except BEST and PAN markets), and slightly change the fee structure.
“In August 2019, we launched a technically stellar and 100% in-house developed digital asset exchange. Since then, our exchange dev team further optimised the performance and user experience and we onboarded the first trading bot services. After thorough analysis, we are aiming to give our exchange a clearer profile to attract both B2C users and B2B clients. We think that our new positioning is a strong one and will attract the right users we need to grow our product further. On March 3rd, 2020 at 11:00 am CET, we will unveil the repositioning of the Bitpanda Global Exchange and share our new strategy with you.”
