France is an important market for us and we are delighted to be able to offer our French users direct access to cryptoassets as part of a diversified portfolio of investments. TBanque’s goal is to get more people investing and we fully support all regulatory measures that protect retail investors without excluding those who could benefit most, or stifling innovation.”

Sackmann continued, “TBanque has witnessed a huge growth in the number of users over the past three years and we fully support greater retail participation. Our goal is to help our users grow their knowledge and their wealth as part of a global community of investors .
