Vienna-based crypto exchange Bitpanda is entering the blockchain infrastructure business with a new blockchain network called Vision Chain, which seeks to bring tokenized assets into the regulated financial system in Europe as financial institutions seek 24/7 market access.
On March 25, 2026, the company stated that it is developing Vision Chain in collaboration with the Vision Web3 Foundation and Optimism. The network will allow banks and fintech companies to have a framework to issue, manage, and settle tokenized assets while complying with European regulations such as MiCA and MiFID II.

Another notable feature of Vision Chain is that they are utilizing euro-backed stablecoins for transaction fees, which reduces price volatility that is commonly experienced with traditional cryptocurrencies. Vision Chain also utilizes Optimism’s Ethereum-based technology for transaction efficiency.
Bitpanda’s strategy is an extension of a global trend towards tokenization, where assets such as stocks, bonds, and property are turned into digital tokens on a blockchain network. This is a technology that simplifies asset issuance, trading, and tracking and reduces dependence on fragmented and outdated systems.
Significant opportunity: The BCG and Ripple study forecasts a growth of 53% per annum for tokenized assets, which could potentially reach $18.9 trillion by 2033.

Bitpanda Vision Chain Sparks Tokenization Race
However, the competition is now intensifying. Robinhood is already testing its blockchain network, called Robinhood Chain, for the use of tokenized stocks and integration with DeFi applications. Industry leaders like the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange are also working on blockchain-based platforms for the use of tokenized securities.
Bitpanda’s Vision Chain also aligns with a bigger picture: connecting traditional finance and blockchain technology. It can help banks and financial institutions deliver digital asset solutions without crossing any boundaries set by regulators.
Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, CEO of Bitpanda, believes tokenization will change the capital markets. Many European institutions are eager, but infrastructure is lacking.
With Vision Chain, we are building a blockchain system that is adapted to the needs of financial regulation in Europe. It is a blockchain system that is open, but also trustworthy and reliable, as financial institutions require.
