Germany’s second largest stock exchange, the Stuttgart Börse, which reportedly has a trading volume of $100 bln, has announced it is launching a zero-fee cryptocurrency trading app, Thursday, May 17. The smartphone app, dubbed ‘Bison,’ will be free to use as of fall 2018, and has been developed together with fintech startup Sowa Labs.Read more: https://cointelegraph.com/news/germanys-2nd-largest-stock-exchange-to-launch-zero-fee-crypto-trading-appFour cryptocurrencies - Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Ripple - will be supported from the app’s launch, with additional digital assets promised “in the near future.” The interface and trading process aims at convenience, forgoing the need for crypto wallets or paperwork.
The platform also gives users an artificial intelligence (AI) data analysis tool, ‘Cryptoradar,’ which analyzes over 250,000 crypto-related tweets from the crypto sphere daily to give real-time insight into community sentiment. As of press time, Cryptoradar’s algorithm on the Bison website shows Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin as neutral, with Ripple edging towards the positive spectrum.
A prototype of the app was presented today at the finance and investment trade fair Invest in Stuttgart, with Dr Ulli Spankowski, Managing Director at Sowa Labs, commenting that Bison “is the first crypto app in the world to have a traditional stock exchange behind it.’ Sowa Labs claims that their survey of over 1,000 participants showed that the majority of investors would like “easier” access to the crypto markets.
Well this could be a game changer that will definitely attract my attention. An established financial institution in an economic heavy weight country like Germany is good news on it's own but zero fees is too good to be true? What's the catch? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

This is great to see! The more main stream stock exchanges get into crypto trading, the easier new money can flow in. Thanks for the update!
Very nice bitcoin and i love bitcoin.
Thanks for sharing update proving crypto currency news.
Wow! Similar to Robinhood. The more exchanges like this the better.
Really strange... I heard that cryptos are banned in Germany (or at least that you can't find Bitcoin ATMs) so i really wonder how this exchange is allowed or considering launching this app ... :-/ Could Germany be about to switch?
Great news for crypto. I am not from Germany but this helps crypto as a whole.
