What Coinhouse does

Coinhouse is a French-regulated cryptocurrency brokerage platform founded in 2014 as La Maison du Bitcoin and incorporated as Coinhouse SAS in 2015. Headquartered at 14 avenue de l'Opéra in Paris, the company operates as a crypto-asset broker (not an exchange), buying and selling cryptocurrencies on its own books and holding them for customers across retail individuals, private (high-net-worth) clients, and corporate customers in France and Luxembourg. The platform supports 70+ cryptocurrencies selected by internal experts and offers buy/sell/trade functionality, dollar-cost averaging (DCA), staking, crypto asset management with delegated portfolio strategies (Prudent, Balanced, Dynamic), Euro accounts with French IBAN, and institutional-grade custody featuring Ledger cold storage (securing over 70% of customer funds), segregated omnibus wallets, multi-signature controls, and MMA RCS insurance coverage.

The business model combines a freemium subscription structure with transaction-based revenue. The Classic tier is free with standard fees; the Investor tier is priced at €9.90/month (annual) or €29/month (flexible) and waives transaction fees up to €3,000/month; Private Management is €798/year with zero transaction fees up to €8,000/month, a dedicated portfolio manager, and tax consultation. Business customers access Business and Business Plus tiers with segregated accounts and multi-signatory custody. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer via mobile apps (iOS/Android) and the coinhouse.com website, with sales-assisted motions for premium tiers (HubSpot-scheduled expert appointments) and a dedicated field sales channel for corporate clients. Marketing relies on content (Academy, Blog, Newsletter, weekly YouTube market reviews), PR appearances by CEO Nicolas Louvet and CIO Stéphane Ifrah on BFM Crypto and BSMART, and an affiliate program offering €75 per B2B account.

The company's competitive positioning rests on its regulatory first-mover status: it was the first French platform to receive PSAN registration from the AMF (March 2020) and has secured MiCA authorization (May 2025), positioning it ahead of the July 1, 2026 MiCA compliance deadline. A $17 million Series B led by True Global Ventures 4 Plus in January 2022 (subsequently expanded to approximately $42.9 million with ODDO BHF and other investors) supports an explicit ambition to become Europe's first cryptobank and expand regulated crypto services across Europe. Coinhouse has 51-100 employees, reports 800,000+ accounts created since 2014, €2 billion+ in cumulative transaction volume, and a 4.7/5 Trustpilot rating across 2,800+ reviews.

Direct peers

• Bitpanda: Austrian-headquartered regulated European crypto broker offering retail trading, staking, custody, and asset management. Operates a similar broker (not exchange) model with multi-tier subscriptions and a curated asset selection, directly competing with Coinhouse in the EU regulated crypto segment.
• Bitstamp: Luxembourg-based regulated crypto exchange serving European retail and institutional clients. Comparable as a long-standing European regulated platform with similar compliance focus and B2B institutional custody offerings.
• Kraken: Major US-headquartered crypto exchange with significant European operations and MiCA registration. Competes with Coinhouse for European retail and institutional clients, with overlapping staking, custody, and trading products.
• Bitcoin Suisse: Swiss-regulated crypto broker offering trading, staking, custody, and lending to retail, HNW, and institutional clients. Highly comparable broker-model business with regulatory-first positioning in a European market adjacent to Coinhouse's footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Coinbase: Largest US-regulated crypto exchange expanding aggressively in Europe with MiCA compliance. Overlaps with Coinhouse across retail trading, custody, staking, and asset management but operates at much larger global scale and broader asset coverage.
• Binance: World's largest crypto exchange by volume, facing regulatory headwinds in Europe. As a regulated European alternative, Coinhouse competes for users disenchanted by Binance's regulatory uncertainty, but Binance retains scale advantages in liquidity and asset breadth.
• Revolut: European fintech super-app with embedded crypto trading, staking, and learning features. Competes for the same European retail audience as Coinhouse but offers crypto as a feature within a broader multi-currency, payments, and investing platform.
• eToro: Globally regulated multi-asset broker with significant crypto offering and European user base. Competes with Coinhouse for European retail crypto investors but differentiates with social trading, stocks/ETFs, and broader multi-asset platform.

Regional players

• Trade Republic: German-headquartered pan-European broker offering stocks, ETFs, and crypto trading. Overlaps with Coinhouse in European retail brokerage, particularly German-speaking markets adjacent to France, with similar freemium-to-premium subscription dynamics.

Emerging players

• Relai: Swiss-based Bitcoin-only self-custody app targeting European retail investors. Partial overlap with Coinhouse's Bitcoin-focused retail offering but with a simpler, non-custodial model and narrower product scope.
