Hey Changemakers!
Looking back, it’s hard to believe how big of a milestone April 2022 turned out to be for Change. That’s when we acquired a licensed Dutch brokerage and officially brought an investment license under the Change Group.
This step fundamentally reshaped our future and allowed Change to evolve from a simple crypto wallet into a fully regulated, all-in-one investment platform.
With this license, we were able to expand into traditional investment opportunities: stocks, ETFs, commodities, and other instruments — while continuing to grow our crypto and DeFi offerings, which have always been at the heart of our community.
Even before the acquisition, in 2021, you could already trade derivatives of U.S. stocks, indices, and commodities in the app through our partnership with a regulated Dutch investment firm.
From April 2022 onward, that very firm became part of Change, giving us full control to improve the trading experience and build something truly tailored to our users.
Today, it’s clear that obtaining a license from a trusted country like the Netherlands was the key to expanding across Europe and offering financial services to millions of people in the European Economic Area.
What did this mean for You?
Becoming a regulated investment firm in the EU allowed us to bring more safety, transparency, and protection to your investments.
Our long-term mission has always been to give You the freedom to invest easily, affordably, and without unnecessary barriers.
High entry thresholds, complex tools, and expensive fees kept many people away from traditional investing — and solving these problems has shaped many of the updates we’ve introduced since then.
How this shaped Change by 2025
Together with our community, we’ve grown from a crypto wallet into a true all-in-one investment app.
Over the past years, we’ve introduced dozens of new assets — both traditional and crypto — and expanded the platform exactly in line with what You’ve been asking for.
And one thing is certain: our journey of adding new investment opportunities is far from over.
