At the moment, the app provides free-of-charge trading in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) and Ripple (XRP). It also allows users to fund their accounts with euros via a built-in wallet for storing cryptocurrencies.

Dr. Ulli Spankowski, CEO of Sowa Labs GmbH, the subsidiary of Boerse Stuttgart Group said that “It only takes a few minutes for users to register and prove their identity by video-identification”. The trading time is reportedly between 6 a.m. and midnight CET, from Monday to Sunday.
