Bitpanda leans on regulation to drive global expansion and institutional growth

Beincrypto reports that Bitpanda is treating regulation as the engine of its global expansion, according to Vishal Sacheendran, Vice President of Global Markets Strategy & Operations at Bitpanda. Sacheendran said the company pursued a regulatory-first model — securing MiCAR in Europe, FCA registration in the UK and VARA approval in Dubai — to create “a consistent operational model across regions.” He argued that this approach has built institutional trust and that Bitpanda designed infrastructure to exceed regulatory standards so it can “scale into new markets quickly because our infrastructure already meets the highest regulatory standards.” The firm has also targeted the MENA region, which Sacheendran described as having strong demographic growth and emerging regulatory frameworks, and said its regional approach emphasizes partnerships with banks, institutions and regulators.

Beyond retail products, Bitpanda is expanding institutional offerings through Bitpanda Technology Solutions, which Sacheendran said is already powering services for banks, fintechs and neobanks across Europe and MENA and will move toward deeper integration of custody, trading, tokenisation and settlement as modular infrastructure.
