Bull Bitcoin, a trailblazing bitcoin-only exchange renowned for its privacy-first, non-custodial model, announced its expansion into the European Union, establishing a dedicated team in France to serve the entire Eurozone.
This strategic move follows the company’s successful 2024 entry into Costa Rica, underscoring its mission to empower users globally with self-sovereign financial tools.
A Vision Rooted in Cypherpunk Principles
Unlike custodial exchanges that dominate the digital currency landscape, Bull Bitcoin ensures users retain full control of their funds. Every bitcoin purchase is sent directly to the user’s wallet, eliminating counterparty risk. 
Since its 2013 founding in Montreal by bitcoin maximalist Francis Pouliot, Bull Bitcoin has championed technologies like the Lightning Network, Liquid Network, and PayJoin to enhance transactional privacy.
The platform also enables practical bitcoin adoption, allowing users to pay bills (rent, utilities, telecom) and even purchase real estate directly with bitcoin.
Navigating Regulatory Challenges with Confidence
While competitors retreat from the EU due to regulatory pressures, Bull Bitcoin is seizing the opportunity to serve an underserved market. The exchange’s lean, bootstrapped structure—free from VC influence—allows agile responses to regulatory and technical challenges.
By focusing exclusively on bitcoin, Bull Bitcoin avoids the complexity and risks of altcoin markets, deploying cutting-edge solutions faster than competitors.
Expanding Horizons: From Costa Rica to Europe
Bull Bitcoin’s 2024 Costa Rican expansion leveraged integration with SINPE Móvil, a popular mobile payment system, driving adoption among local farmers and merchants. Partnering with grassroots initiatives like Bitcoin Jungle, the company has fostered education and real-world bitcoin use in Latin America.
Educating Users, Fighting Scams
Self-custody demands user education—a challenge Bull Bitcoin meets with dedicated support. Its in-house chat system connects users directly to experts, including Pouliot himself. In 2022, the acquisition of Veriphi bolstered its educational offerings, providing guided self-custody consultations via bitcoinsupport.com.
Looking Ahead
As Bull Bitcoin grows, it remains steadfast in its mission: to make bitcoin accessible as money, not a speculative asset. With Eurozone users now able to transact freely and privately, the company continues to redefine success in the digital asset industry—one satoshi at a time.
