What's your favourite mission in our Engage section? 🤔

Vision Chain will be the infrastructure behind Bitpanda Enterprise Tokenize. Together, we will bring scalable, compliance-ready tokenisation to institutions in Europe and beyond, built for regulated finance from day one. With Bitpanda Enterprise as our partner, Vision Chain moves directly into the hands of banks, corporates and asset issuers, becoming the infrastructure layer for regulated digital assets.

We have also uploaded the Q&A to our official Youtube Channel: 🇬🇧 youtube.com/watch?v=VWNKEY… 🇩🇪 youtube.com/watch?v=J81sTG…

You asked, we answered. The first Vision Chain Q&A is now live! Governance, Nodes, Use-cases & more.

@Nicolas34322506 Ja klar, sie werden ja auf der Chain sein und sind damit global verfügbar.

@vsntoken Danke für das Update. Wird es die Assets auf der Vision chain auch außerhalb von Bitpanda geben?

The most valuable assets in Europe were never designed for retail investors. Private credit, real estate, and institutional funds have been locked behind high entry barriers for decades. Pretty impressed by observing how Vision Chain is trying to change that. ICYMI, Vision is an Ethereum L2 by @Bitpanda that provides banks with a compliance-ready framework to tokenize RWA assets onchain seamlessly. Unlike most L2s, gas fees are paid in Euro stablecoins, no need to hold volatile native tokens. Yields are also denominated in Euro, which completely removes the currency exchange friction for European users. Good to see that yields that were exclusive to institutions for decades are finally available to European retail.

Upgrading Europe’s Financial System: Vision Chain and the Case for Regulated Crypto In this episode of DROPS, I sit down with @FkleinwieGross, "Flo", Commercial Lead at @vsntoken and Bitpanda Web3, to discuss how regulatory clarity could become Europe’s competitive advantage in crypto. At a time when much of the industry still frames itself as a rebellion against traditional finance, Flo makes a different case: Europe does not need to replace finance. It needs to upgrade it. From Broker to Bridge Flo’s journey sits at the intersection of crypto-native ambition and European pragmatism. As Commercial Lead for Bitpanda Web3, he operates within Europe’s largest crypto broker, serving over seven million users. But @Bitpanda_global is not a typical centralized exchange. As he explains, “Bit Panda is actually the counterparty to the trades our users make. And we then hedge and source liquidity from a wide variety of centralized exchanges and trading venues.” That distinction matters. A centralized exchange matches buyers and sellers in an order book. A broker abstracts that complexity. For Bitpanda’s largely Web2-oriented audience, the goal has always been simplicity. As Flo puts it, the strategy has been to “abstract difficulty as much as possible.” This audience does not necessarily care about custody models or liquidity routing. They treat crypto as an asset class, not a technological revolution. That difference shapes everything that follows. Web2 in Front, Web3 in the Back Bitpanda Web3 represents the next step: onboarding “the next millions of users into the onchain world.” But Flo is clear. This is not about tearing down traditional finance. “It’s not replacing TradFi, it’s about upgrading it.” That philosophy crystallizes in what he calls the “DeFi mullet.” Web2 in the front, Web3 in the back. The user interface remains familiar and clean while the complexity runs quietly beneath the surface. If crypto’s first phase proved it was possible, and the second phase tried to make it useful, Flo argues the third phase must make it invisible. “The average retail user doesn’t care about the technology,” he says. “They care about the usability.” In @BitpandaWallet, there is no open WalletConnect access to random decentralized apps. The goal is curated exposure, protecting Web2 investors from the risks that crypto natives may willingly accept. Regulation as an Edge, Not a Burden Flo acknowledges the common critique: the world innovates, Europe regulates. But in finance, he believes that slower, methodical development may become a strategic advantage. Europe already operates under harmonized frameworks such as MiCA, PSD2, DORA, and GDPR. Rather than fighting that environment, Vision Chain is designed specifically for it. The ambition is bold: “This is where regulated finance goes onchain in Europe.” Vision Chain is an Ethereum Layer-2, so Flo addresses the obvious question directly. Do we need another Layer-2? If the only value proposition is cheaper transactions, then no. But if a chain has “a very specific purpose and is trying to do something unique,” then yes. That uniqueness lies in embedding compliance and control mechanisms directly into the architecture. Sanctions screening, anti-money laundering safeguards, and regulatory-aware transaction controls are considered from day one. Vision is “specifically made for it,” more efficient, and safer in the European regulatory context. Why Europe, and Why Now? When asked why Europe needs its own blockchain, Flo’s answer is direct. Europe may lag in risk appetite compared to the US or Asia, but it is ahead in regulatory clarity. That clarity reduces uncertainty. And as he mentions later in the conversation, “Regulation is not the enemy of innovation. Uncertainty is.” By aligning with regulation instead of resisting it, Vision Chain aims to attract European financial institutions that would otherwise hesitate to engage with public blockchains. Bitpanda’s eleven-year history of regulatory compliance strengthens that pitch. The company chose the slower, harder path of licensing and oversight, building trust with both retail users and institutional partners. Vision is positioned as the culmination of that work. A Euro-Native Ecosystem One of Vision Chain’s more distinctive choices is its approach to gas fees. Instead of defaulting to ETH or USD stablecoins, the chain will primarily use a euro-denominated stablecoin. Since institutions prefer predictability, stablecoins will offer programmable, stable fee structures and currency alignment for European users. As Flo notes, earning yield in USD while living in a euro economy can erode returns through exchange rate movements. The Vision token itself plays a complementary role as an ecosystem token with revenue-sharing mechanics. Beyond Crypto Maximalism Flo is candid about the limits of maximalism. “If you’re always going full collision, no compromise, you end up alienating a lot of people and a lot of institutions.” In his view, crypto’s next wave of impact will not come from overthrowing financial systems but from integrating with them. European institutions bring liquidity and assets onchain. Bitpanda’s distribution brings users. Builders bring applications. Each reinforces the other in a flywheel effect within a collaborative model. The “Base of Europe”? Vision Chain is often compared to Base, Coinbase’s Layer-2. But Flo believes Vision’s strength lies in its unique position within Europe’s regulatory and cultural landscape. “We have the brains and the knowledge of the regulatory landscape,” he says, along with a strong tech team and an established user base. Vision is betting that in a region that values stability, transparency, and regulation, the path to mainstream crypto adoption will be through structured integration. 👉If you enjoyed reading the summary, head over to When Shift Happens on YouTube or your favorite podcast platform to access the full convo.

This is arguably the best time for my partners at Vision to build what they’ve set out to build: A Layer 2 built around specific regulatory frameworks such as MiCA and DORA for the European market, before the capital arrives, not after the masses show up and everyone scrambles to retrofit a fix. That’s how you bring traditional finance onchain.
