"Our goal is to establish the Bitpanda Global Exchange as the largest Euro 
exchange with the lowest fees for fiat-to-crypto trading in the industry.

build on a lot of synergies and experience," says Bitpanda CEO Eric Demuth.

The Bitpanda Ecosystem Token (BEST) is the Bitpanda coin that offers users a 
wide range of benefits and perks within the company's ecosystem. For example, 
they will get a reduction of up to 25% on Bitpanda trading fees starting in Q4 
2019 and will get priority access to the upcoming Bitpanda Launchpad.

The company will use the 43.6 million euros raised with BEST to drive expansion 
beyond Europe and cryptocurrencies. Bitpanda continues to work hard towards a 
fairer, more transparent and easily accessible world of personal finance.
