Finst wins IEX Golden Bull 2025 for Best Crypto Platform

Finst has been awarded the IEX Golden Bull Award 2025 for Best Crypto Platform, one of the most prestigious awards in the Dutch investment industry. The award was presented during the official ceremony on March 26, 2026.

Each year, IEX, one of the most reputable investment media in the Netherlands, evaluates the leading crypto platforms in the country based on in-depth research and investor feedback.

As part of the selection process, IEX researchers assessed Finst across multiple criteria, including product offering, fees, service, features, and growth. In addition, a survey among 8,700 investors was conducted to gather user experiences with the nominated platforms.

Finst selected as Best Crypto Platform

Based on this evaluation, Finst was selected as the Best Crypto Platform of 2025. The award reflects our focus on making crypto investing safer, more affordable, and radically more transparent. Finst was notably highlighted for its institutional-grade security standards, ultra-low trading fees of 0.15%, and access to deep liquidity without hidden costs or spreads. With over 10.000 5-star reviews on Trustpilot, Finst also stood out for its exceptional service quality.

“This award confirms that putting investors first — through fair pricing, top-tier security, and full transparency — sets a new standard in crypto” said Julien Vallet, CEO at Finst. “Earning the trust of both industry experts and investors makes this recognition especially meaningful.”

One of Europe's leading crypto platforms

Finst now serves nearly 100,000 users and is growing rapidly, further strengthening its position as one of Europe’s leading crypto platforms. The company sees this award as strong validation of its trajectory and continues to build on this momentum by expanding its range of cryptocurrencies, launching new products and features, and enhancing the overall user experience.

At the same time, Finst is scaling its institutional offering, delivering regulated crypto-asset services to banks, financial institutions, fintechs, and corporates across Europe - bringing it closer to its ambition of becoming the leading pan-European crypto platform.
