One Trading, formerly known as Bitpanda Pro and based in the Netherlands, has obtained an Organized Trading Facility license from the Dutch Financial Markets Authority (AFM). This milestone enables the exchange to introduce innovative financial products across Europe, including onshore crypto futures trading. 
With this license, One Trading becomes the sole platform offering perpetual futures trading in the European Union and the first to provide cash-settled perpetual in Europe, including the UK. Notably, it is also the first regulated derivatives exchange in Europe accessible to retail clients.
