The Netherlands
Finst is positioning itself as a formidable player in the European crypto landscape. Founded in 2022, this Netherlands-based startup is emerging as a comprehensive crypto-asset service provider with a focus on institutional-grade security and cost-efficiency. Its value proposition rests on offering clients the ability to buy, sell, send, and receive over 340+ cryptocurrencies in EUR at ultra-low fees.
What sets Finst apart is its leadership, comprised of ex-core members from DEGIRO, a company well-regarded in the financial sphere. The firm has gained authorization from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), adding a layer of regulated credibility to its crypto services, which include trading, custody, transfers, and staking for both retail and institutional investors.
Supported by an €8M Series A investment in early 2026 from investors like Endeit Capital, Eelko Van Kooten, and Mark Fransen, Finst is poised to leverage this financial backing to further solidify its market position in the burgeoning crypto and fintech industries.
