Vinted has been valued at €8 billion The platform continues to grow thanks to new investments

After being the star of Milan Design Week, used by visitors of the Fuorisalone to resell all the gadgets given to them by brands around the city, Vinted is back in the spotlight, but this time in the world of finance. According to Bloomberg, the Lithuanian company sold shares in a secondary transaction with an investor, an operation that increased Vinted’s valuation to €8 billion.

The shares, corresponding to a value of €880 million, were sold under the leadership of the Swedish fund EQT Growth (a firm that supports technology companies in the consumer, finance, healthcare, and climate sectors) to investors Schroders Capital and Teachers’ Venture Growth. In a statement reported by Bloomberg, Vinted’s CEO, Thomas Plantenga, said that the transaction « recognizes the value we have created and gives employees the opportunity to share in it. [...] It also gives liquidity to long-standing investors, continuing an approach we have taken in every funding round since 2015.»

Since 2008, the year of its founding, Vinted has grown at a remarkable pace. In addition to being one of the favorite destinations for European Gen Z for second-hand shopping, the company has invested with full awareness of its strengths, adding programs such as the service for authenticating designer items as well as introducing an electronics and video games section that has led it to compete with eBay. The American company at the beginning of the year reportedly tried to counter Vinted’s growth with the acquisition of Depop by Etsy, a transaction that cost it $1.2 billion.

In October 2024, Vinted was valued at €5 billion, a significant jump from €3.5 billion in 2021. In 2025, the company reported a 47% growth in the total value of goods sold, reaching €10.8 billion. Profit decreased by 19% compared to 2024, but the company attributed this decline to investments made in recent months in the German market and in the Vinted Go shipping project. With this new valuation, Vinted’s future looks brighter than ever: it is even said that the platform is about to adopt an internal payment system, Vinted Pay.
