			== Current status (2026) ==
			According to secondary reporting that cites operator and industry sources, trading and deposits have been suspended since 12 June 2026.<ref name="cticker"/> The operator’s own status PDF (Stand: 20.08.2026) states that a new trading platform (website and iOS/Android app) is technically ready, that launch was postponed because the MiCAR (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) authorisation procedure for futurum bank AG is not yet finished, that customer crypto balances were migrated to new custody infrastructure during the cutover and the previous trading stack was switched off, and that only withdrawals are available for now.<ref name="pdf"/> The company has not published a firm restart date. Halted service is not the same as a permanent shutdown.

			== History ==
			Bitcoin.de launched in August 2011 and became an early euro P2P venue for bitcoin.<ref name="bt"/> In 2013 it announced cooperation with Fidor Bank, which was widely noted as an early bank–marketplace partnership in the German market. Over time the product moved from a classic person-to-person marketplace toward a broker-style trading architecture planned for the 2026 relaunch. Intended features described in the operator PDF (more than 100 crypto assets, savings plans, staking/swaps and app trading) are launch intentions, not a claim that they are live while trading is halted.<ref name="pdf"/>
