Top Nordic Exchange Accelerates XRP Adoption Across Europe

Leading Nordic crypto exchange Safello has expanded access to XRP across Europe following the recent launch of its services in Finland.  

As XRP gains global traction, Safello continues to strengthen its regional presence by making the token more accessible to retail and institutional investors throughout the Nordics and the broader European market. 

Key Points 

• Safello has expanded access to XRP across Europe following the launch of its services in Finland.
• Safello became Sweden’s first exchange authorized under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, giving traders regulated access to XRP.
• The company’s mission to simplify crypto access now directly supports broader XRP adoption.
• XRP continues to gain traction as exchanges add new trading pairs and institutional platforms roll out exchange-traded products (ETPs). 

Safello Adds Support for XRP 

Notably, Safello began supporting XRP in December 2025, adding the token and seven other digital assets to its platform. Although the listing occurred last year, community figure WrathofKahneman later drew public attention to the development. 

The expansion follows Safello’s authorization as Sweden’s first crypto-asset service provider under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. This approval enables the company to scale regulated crypto services across EU markets, including broader access to XRP.  

Broadening Regulated Access to XRP in Europe 

Earlier this month, Safello officially entered the Finnish market, marking its first cross-border expansion. Finnish users can now buy, sell, transfer, and securely store XRP in a regulated environment, alongside access to order book trading and crypto swaps.

Consequently, the move strengthens XRP’s footprint in Europe. As Safello expands into additional EU jurisdictions, regulated access to XRP is expected to increase, further driving adoption across retail and institutional segments.

Founded in 2013, Safello has grown into one of the Nordics’ leading crypto exchanges, serving about 413,000 users. The company focuses on simplifying crypto access and already extends that mission to XRP. 

Meanwhile, XRP continues to strengthen its footprint across Europe. Platforms such as Liechtenstein Cryptoassets Exchange have expanded XRP markets by introducing new trading pairs. 

Moreover, firms like WisdomTree now offer traditional investors indirect exposure to the asset through exchange-traded products (ETPs). It is worth noting that the European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) recognized XRP as a non-security.
