- Criptan is a trusted leader in the European digital asset ecosystem, with over 85,000 corporate and individual users.
LONDON, UK, July 1st, 2025: Criptan, a Spanish fintech company focused on providing businesses and individual users with simple, secure access to digital assets like BTC / ETH and stablecoin (USDC / EURC) accounts, has partnered with OpenTrade to power its Earn product, which allows users to earn passive income on their USDC and EURC holdings with the click of a button.
Criptan continues to solidify its position as a trusted leader in the European digital asset ecosystem, attracting over 85,000 corporate and individual users who can access digital assets and stablecoin accounts through a seamless UI/UX, and trust in Criptan’s strong regulatory and security credentials and track record. By partnering with OpenTrade, Criptan is able to further enhance their existing Earn offering, which has already paid out over half a million euros in user earnings and surpassed $75 million in assets under management since its launch. Most notably, by utilizing OpenTrade’s USD Money Market USDC Yield and E.U. Gov Bond EURC Yield products, Criptan will be able to power more stable, predictable returns on both USDC and EURC without imposing any additional onboarding requirements or costs on end users, and decreasing back-office costs and operational overhead.
As the leading digital asset platform in Spain, Criptan is able to provide this market with a truly unique value proposition, including superior returns with accessibility, flexibility, and stability unmatched elsewhere in the Spanish market:
- Criptan provides users with superior returns on euro and dollar balances compared to traditional banks, which typically cap euro savings rates at the Euro money market rate (currently 2.17%), and rarely offer USD yield-bearing accounts to local retail users
- Criptan provides users with more stable and predictable returns compared to crypto-native platforms may offer up to 6% APY on selected stablecoins, but rates are often variable and require locking funds for a set period of time
“Through the partnership, Criptan is bridging the gap between traditional and on-chain finance, delivering a solution that neither can achieve alone. Business and retail users alike can enjoy unhindered access to reliable, institutional-grade yields with no lock-ups or additional fees,” said Jeff Handler, co-founder and CCO of OpenTrade.
“Our mission at Criptan has always been to democratize access to the benefits of digital finance in a secure and transparent way. Partnering with OpenTrade allows us to take a significant step forward, bringing institutional-grade investment opportunities to everyday users while maintaining the simplicity and trust that define our platform. We believe this alliance strengthens our value proposition and reinforces our commitment to building the future of finance in Europe”, said Jorge Soriano, CEO & cofounder of Criptan.
