Vision Chain: The Infrastructure For What’s Next

Closing the gap

Banks and financial institutions have known the benefits of tokenisation for years, but most efforts stayed in isolated, closed systems with no connection to the onchain economy.

At the same time, DeFi evolved in a different direction. Open, global, and fast-moving, but largely disconnected from regulated institutions and real-world assets.

Two worlds. Both advancing. But not meeting.

With Vision Chain, we are changing that.

We are building infrastructure designed to connect financial institutions, the open blockchain economy, and millions of users on platforms like Bitpanda.

From infrastructure to access

Vision Chain is built to move onchain finance out of testing and into real use.

For institutions, it enables issuing and managing tokenised assets at scale without building their own infrastructure.

For developers, it means building with real-world assets and institutional liquidity, for a built-in audience.
For users, it opens access to new types of assets, products and applications through Bitpanda, the DeFi Wallet or our Enterprise Partners.

To make this work in practice, Vision Chain is designed around:

• Compatibility with European regulation like MiCAR and MiFID II
• Stable fees using Euro-denominated stablecoins or VSN
• Infrastructure that can handle institutional transaction volumes

The focus is simple: making onchain finance usable in the real world.

The role of Vision Token

At the centre of it all is Vision (VSN).

It aligns the growth of the network with its usage. As activity increases, part of the network’s revenue is used to acquire and remove Vision from circulation, tightening supply as the ecosystem expands.

Developers building on Vision Chain will receive grants to embed real utility for token holders directly into their products. This positions Vision not just as the ecosystem token of Bitpanda, but as a token designed to power a wider European blockchain economy built on Vision Chain.

Built for scale, with Optimism

To make this work, the underlying technology matters.

Vision Chain is being built as an Ethereum Layer 2 using the Optimism OP Stack, an ecosystem that combines performance, security, and scalability.

This allows us to stay fully connected to the global onchain economy while building an environment that meets the expectations of European financial institutions.

Where this leads

The shift to digital assets is not a trend. It is a structural change in how financial systems are built.

Vision Chain is how we make sure that Europe plays a leading role in that transition, institutions can participate without compromise, and users benefit from it directly.

We have talked about the future of finance for years, Vision Chain is the infrastructure that makes it real.
