Retail Investing – Is mass participation in trading encouragable?
summary
Pandemic-era growth looks concrete: a new broker claims 140,000 new customers last month after launching in Dec 2019, a crypto bank reports buy/sell ratios skewed toward buying, and a fintech focused on women cites only 13% of women invest in Germany. Germany holds ~€7 trillion in household assets growing ~6% p.a. yet lags peers (Sweden ~48–50% investing). Platforms simplify UX, remove “trading” language, promote ETFs and recurring buys, and position crypto as digital store of value for long-term allocation; panelists expect retention beyond a bear market.
