Bitpanda has launched Vision Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 network purpose-built to connect regulated financial institutions with the global decentralized economy. Built on the Optimism OP Stack, the network enables banks and developers to issue and manage tokenized assets while staying compliant with European regulations such as Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) and MiFID II.
Tokenomics and Supply Tightening
The network uses the native VSN token to align growth with usage through a revenue-based supply tightening mechanism — higher network activity automatically reduces token supply. To lower entry barriers for institutions, the platform supports stable fees denominated in Euro-pegged stablecoins and offers grants to developers building within the European blockchain ecosystem.
Compliance-First Architecture
Compliance is embedded in Vision Chain’s core design. It natively supports MiCAR and MiFID II local standards, allowing traditional banks to access onchain liquidity without overhauling existing risk controls. Bitpanda previously entered the UK crypto market with over 600 digital assets and major institutional partnerships; Vision Chain extends its institutional service suite.
The company stated that Vision Chain addresses the tension between compliance and scalability in real-world asset tokenization. By embedding regulatory requirements into a Layer 2 architecture, institutions can issue, trade, and settle assets while preserving onchain transparency.
