Our take
BISON is a crypto trading app, and the first of its kind to be backed by a traditional stock exchange: it’s a subsidiary of Boerse Stuttgart, a leading German stock exchange and a major player in Europe. It offers trade in all major cryptocurrencies, and sign-up and trading is free - it profits from the spreads between purchase and sales prices.
This reflects just how far crypto has broken into the mainstream. In fact, there’s some concern that the entrance of traditional financial organisations into the crypto space threatens the position of crypto-native exchanges like FTX - who are attempting to outmanoeuvre this shift by expanding into stock trades.
It will face tough competition. BISON of course benefits hugely from the resources of Boerse Stuttgart, helping it develop crucial onboarding technology. For example, the app doesn’t require that users own a digital wallet: all that’s required is a German bank account, which has helped it onboard over half a million users already. With this strong momentum, in a German market where nearly half of all residents are motivated to invest in crypto, BISON looks set to corner an impressive market share.
