Scalable Capital expands with cross-border trading and generational wealth tools following recent €155M funding, positioning against neobrokers through regulatory-first product strategy.
Earlier this month, Scalable Capital announced kids’ investment accounts for Q3 launch, capping a transformative 30-day period that included a European trading exchange and private equity offerings.
Recent Developments (since 12 June 2025)
On 17 June 2025, Scalable Capital launched the European Investor Exchange enabling cross-border trading across 15 markets. Finextra confirmed the platform reduces transaction costs by 40% compared to traditional brokers.
Just one week later (24 June 2025), the company introduced ELTIF-structured private equity products for accredited investors, as documented in BaFin regulatory filings. This provides access to previously inaccessible private markets through a regulated framework.
Most recently, CEO Erik Podzuweit revealed plans for children’s investment accounts during a 01 July 2025 Handelsblatt interview. The generational wealth feature, scheduled for Q3 launch, allows fractional investing with parental oversight tools.
Historical Comparison
These developments follow Scalable Capital’s €155 million funding round secured on 04 June 2025 from Sofina and Noteus Partners. This represents Europe’s largest fintech raise in Q2 2025 according to Private Equity Wire verification.
Historically, Scalable focused on ETF-based robo-advice. The current expansion marks a strategic shift toward comprehensive wealth management. Compared to Trade Republic’s commission-free model, Scalable now leverages regulatory advantages through ELTIF structures and cross-border capabilities unavailable to many competitors.
The accelerated 30-day product rollout demonstrates how fresh capital is being deployed to capture market share. Where competitors prioritize trading volume, Scalable’s regulatory-first approach creates differentiation in high-value service segments including private markets and intergenerational planning.
