5 European Crypto Startups Taking Investing Mainstream

The current hype surrounding VC investment theses in crypto centers around the bleeding edge technologies - web 3.0; decentralized exchanges, liquidity provisioning protocols, NFT infrastructure plays and so.

However, I think there is a big opportunity space in brining crypto investing & unlocking access to different digital assets (from the mainstream currencies to DeFi tokens to NFTs) to the mainstream customer - a customer that cares about simplicity and customer experience more than the whitepapers and underlying decentralization principles.

So who is working on taking #crypto #investing mainstream in Europe? Here are 5 cool startups I have come across so far that are focusing precisely on this opportunity:
