One Trading has expanded access to its new crypto-perpetual futures trading venue to retail investors in Germany, the Netherlands and Austria.
The expansion marks the first opportunity for retail investors to trade cash-settled BTC/EUR and ETH/EUR perpetual futures pairs through a fully regulated, onshore venue, with the option to go long or short with leverage.
The move follows the launch of the exchange’s new regulated perpetual trading venue in April 2025, which established One Trading as the only Mifid II-regulated trading venue for crypto perpetual futures in the EU.
“For too long, retail investors have had to either pay enormous fees to brokers or choose to trade crypto in unsafe unregulated exchanges offshore. One Trading solves for both fees and safety: now, eligible retail investors in the EU can trade crypto perpetual futures,” said Joshua Barraclough, chief executive of One Trading.
“That’s a major step towards expanding access to advanced trading tools – giving individuals the same quality of execution and protection as institutions. Our mission is to build the most accessible, regulated and efficient derivatives venue in the world. This launch brings us one step closer.”

Through offering fully and safely accessible crypto derivatives products, the launch aims to address challenges commonly faced by retail investors, including market domination by players offering derivatives trading on unregulated offshore venues.
Additionally, the platform offers real-time settlement of all derivative positions 24/7 with a sub-1-minute settlement time, eliminating the need for external clearing and providing eligible customers with the opportunity to access up to 10x leverage.
The exchange has also said that tailored onboarding and support will be provided for eligible German, Austrian and Dutch customers looking to participate.

Since the launch of its new trading venue in April, One Trading has continually highlighted its intention to expand the service to retail investors. In July 2024, it became the first regulated derivatives exchange in Europe to be retail accessible after it was granted an Organised Trading Facility (OTF) licence by the Dutch Financial Markets Authority (AFM).
