Bitpanda

Bitpanda and Raiffeisen Bank International AG are establishing a group-wide framework for digital asset services across Central and Eastern Europe. The agreement gives RBI network banks a common foundation to introduce digital asset services in their local markets, with rollout progressing in line with local requirements. Across the region, RBI’s network serves around 18 million customers. Bitpanda Enterprise provides the underlying infrastructure. The model builds on the integration first launched with Raiffeisen Landesbank Niederösterreich-Wien in 2024. For Bitpanda Enterprise, this is a significant step in bringing digital asset infrastructure to more banks, more markets and, over time, more customers across the region. https://lnkd.in/de9rApVR © Sabine Klimpt

CEO Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad today announced that he will step down in Q1/2027. Our Co-Founder Christian Trummer will become Co-CEO, effective immediately. Until his departure in Q1/2027, Lukas will remain CEO and continue to lead the company, now jointly with Christian, who will ensure added executive focus on product excellence as Bitpanda develops its multi-asset offering across crypto, stocks, ETFs, and precious metals, and expands its infrastructure for financial institutions.

We are welcoming two new leaders to the Bitpanda Executive Committee: Shirin Krall as Chief Growth Officer and Katrin Joschtel as SVP Compliance, Risk & AFC.

At Bitpanda, she will power our next phase of European expansion. Katrin will lead our newly unified second line of defense across Compliance, Risk, Information Security and AFC. Great to have you both on board, Shirin and Katrin!

Users can now connect AI assistants and automated workflows to their Bitpanda account. AI assistants are already part of the way many people search, work and use digital services. In investing, however, most tools have so far been limited to closed systems or a single asset class. With Bitpanda MCP and API, users can access portfolio information, set up recurring workflows, stake or unstake eligible crypto-assets and initiate trades, while remaining in control of what the assistant or workflow is allowed to do. Bitpanda provides the portfolio data and financial infrastructure behind it. For the first time in Europe, this brings AI-supported access across crypto, stocks, ETFs and metals together on a single regulated investment platform. AI is moving beyond providing answers and beginning to interact with real financial tools. That is where we see Agentic Finance heading. https://lnkd.in/dPzSCSG7

Every few months, a new headline claims quantum computing is about to destroy blockchain. But how close is that scenario really?

If you’ve been wondering whether quantum computing is an existential threat to crypto, this is a good place to start. https://lnkd.in/dSKRCCEE
