Are you looking for a reliable alternative for investing in cryptocurrencies in France? Finst, already well established in the Netherlands, is officially launching its platform in France. With its ultra-competitive fees, transparency, and comprehensive range of services, it intends to establish itself as a leading player in Europe.
Finst arrives in France with low fees and a promise of clarity
Founded by former executives of online broker DEGIRO and regulated by the Dutch Financial Markets Authority, Finst focuses on two major strengths: transparency and security.
All client funds are segregated and held on a 1:1 basis in a separate custodian entity. Uninvested cash is held with the Dutch bank bunq. In addition, the platform was the first in the Netherlands to publish proof of reserves audited by an independent firm.
In terms of regulation, Finst is one of the first European platforms to have obtained the MiCA license, guaranteeing a framework that complies with the new European Union standards.
Finst also stands out for its trading fees: only 0.15% on purchases and sales of more than 340 cryptocurrencies, with no added spread or hidden fees. For example, a $1,000 purchase of Bitcoin costs only $1.50, making Finst one of the most competitive platforms in Europe. To celebrate its launch in France, Finst is offering a special deal: $20 in Bitcoin for every new registration with the promo code FINST20.
To take advantage of this offer, simply open an account and trade at least €1,000 during the offer period, and the bonus will be credited within four weeks of registration.
Beyond traditional trading, Finst offers a solution designed for passive investors: crypto bundles. These baskets allow you to buy a combination of popular or themed cryptocurrencies (Top 2, Top 5, Top 10, Top 25, CoinDesk 20, Green, DeFi, Metaverse, etc.) with a single click.
Each Bundle is automatically rebalanced every month to remain aligned with its selection criteria, offering intelligent market tracking without any additional effort.
This approach makes it easy to diversify your investments, limiting the risks associated with a single cryptocurrency while benefiting from low fees.
A comprehensive offering for all profiles
In concrete terms, Finst offers a range of crypto services tailored to all investor profiles, both individual and institutional:
- 340 cryptocurrencies available in EUR;
- Free deposits and withdrawals in euros via instant SEPA transfer;
- Flexible staking on 7 cryptocurrencies with some of the highest rates in France;
- Scheduled investment plans to invest automatically at regular intervals;
- Crypto bundles: monthly rebalanced baskets to track the market with a single click;
- Customer service in French, available via chat, phone, and email.
For institutional investors, Finst offers advanced spot trading solutions with optimal execution, secure custody via Fireblocks, multi-account management, and tailored credit lines.
Towards a leading position in Europe?
Already a leader in the Netherlands, where it has increased its revenue 15-fold in less than three years, Finst now wants to establish itself in the European market.
Backed by renowned investors such as Deribit and several founders of DEGIRO, the platform aims to become the benchmark for crypto in Europe within five years:
“French investors deserve a crypto platform where security, transparency, and ultra-competitive rates are the norm, not the exception. It’s time to put an end to the idea that individuals have to pay much more than professionals for their cryptocurrency investments. With Finst, we are putting an end to hidden fees and finally making crypto investing clear, fair, and accessible to everyone, as we have done in the Netherlands, and soon throughout Europe.”
