Germany's independent guide to buying Bitcoin and cryptocurrency — built by crypto researchers, for German investors.
BitcoinKaufen.de is an independent research and information website run by a small team of cryptocurrency analysts, payment systems researchers, and German finance enthusiasts. We are not a crypto exchange, broker, or financial institution. We have no BaFin licence and do not facilitate the buying or selling of any cryptocurrency — we simply research and explain how the German crypto market works.
Our team has followed the German and European cryptocurrency market since 2017. We have direct experience using the exchanges, payment methods, and Bitcoin ATMs we write about, and we test and update our content regularly to reflect the rapidly changing landscape.
Germany has one of the most sophisticated and well-regulated crypto markets in Europe, but it can be confusing to navigate — especially with the complexity of German banking (Sparkasse, Volksbank, Girocard, SEPA Instant), evolving BaFin regulation, and the EU's MiCA framework coming into full effect. Our mission is to cut through this complexity and give German investors clear, accurate, actionable information.
We focus on three things: which exchanges are trustworthy and BaFin-compliant, which payment methods work best for German bank account holders, and where you can buy Bitcoin with cash in your city. We do not hype specific coins, make price predictions, or recommend trading strategies.
Our team of crypto analysts and writers combines backgrounds in German banking, fintech, consumer finance journalism, and software engineering. We are based in Germany and write specifically for the German market — not generic international crypto content repurposed for a German audience. When we say "your Sparkasse might flag this transaction," we know that from experience, not from reading another website.
We apply strict editorial standards to every piece of content on this site:
