What is Bitpanda Spotlight?

Bitpanda Spotlight assets are upcoming crypto projects still in development. They offer early access to innovative coins and tokens with low market caps. These projects are carefully vetted to ensure they meet our high standards, allowing you to invest in exciting opportunities on a highly regulated platform.

As part of the Bitpanda Spotlight, we also run Spotlight Airdrops, where you can receive free distributions of tokens from these new or upcoming projects. So far, we’ve distributed over 200 assets through these airdrops.

Note: Be aware that these coins carry a higher risk of cancelled orders and dramatic price changes. In some cases, we may need to temporarily disable trading with these assets due to limited accessibility.

How does it work?

While Spotlight assets present exciting potential, they also carry higher risks, including canceled orders or sudden price fluctuations. Sometimes, trading for these assets may be temporarily disabled due to limited accessibility. Always consider these risks before investing.

You can easily access it by clicking on the banner located on the Prices page:

Please note that Bitpanda Spotlight giveaway tokens are not available to UK residents.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a low liquidity token?

A low liquidity token is a cryptocurrency with low trading volume, meaning fewer buyers and sellers. This can lead to several issues on trading platforms:

  1. Price Volatility: Small trades can cause large price swings.
  2. Slippage: The price can change between placing and executing an order, leading to worse prices.
  3. Difficulty with Large Orders: Large trades can move the market, making it hard to buy or sell without significant price impact.
  4. Wider Spread: The difference between buying and selling prices is larger, increasing costs.
  5. Higher Risk: Low liquidity tokens are more prone to market manipulation and instability.

I cannot sell/buy the spotlight asset due to low liquidity
Trading Spotlight assets can be affected by complications such as low market liquidity for the underlying asset. This means that there may not be enough buyers or sellers on the market to complete an order, or that price volatility is so high that it exceeds Bitpanda's price guarantee tolerance. In such cases, we recommend trying to place smaller orders multiple times, or reducing the order size to increase the chances of a successful transaction.
Please also note that temporary trade halts may occur. We strongly encourage you to monitor our Status Page for the latest updates on trading availability.
