what's bitpanda?
Bitpanda is a leading European cryptocurrency platform founded in 2014, headquartered in Vienna, Austria. It provides a user-friendly interface for buying, selling, and storing a wide range of digital assets, including over 400 cryptocurrencies, as well as traditional investments like stocks, ETFs, and precious metals. The platform emphasizes accessibility for beginners while offering advanced features such as staking, recurring buys, and a mobile app, all backed by robust security measures including cold storage and insurance for user funds. Bitpanda operates under strict regulatory compliance across Europe, holding licenses from authorities like the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA). It has expanded into Web3 through initiatives like Bitpanda Spotlight, which allows early access to promising crypto projects, and the development of its own blockchain infrastructure. The company fosters innovation by integrating decentralized technologies, enabling seamless cross-chain interactions and token utilities within its ecosystem. In 2025, Bitpanda unified its token offerings into Vision (VSN), an all-in-one Web3 token that powers staking, governance, and exclusive rewards across its services and beyond. This token facilitates interoperability via partnerships with protocols like Chainlink CCIP, supporting transfers across chains such as Ethereum and Arbitrum, and positions Bitpanda as a bridge between centralized finance and decentralized ecosystems.
