- Bitpanda’s Vision token has gone cross-chain, leveraging Chainlink CCIP for secure interoperability.
- This allows the token to move freely across several blockchain networks, enhancing accessibility and use cases.
On July 16, Bitpanda, Austria’s leading crypto platform, founded in 2014 and now serving nearly 7 million users, introduced its unified utility and governance token, Vision (VSN).
The Vision token has officially become a Cross‑Chain Token (CCT), powered by Chainlink’s Cross‑Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).
According to Chainlink’s announcement, this upgrade allows Vision to move seamlessly and securely across more than 20 blockchains, including Ethereum (ETH), Arbitrum (ARB), and Hyperliquid (HYPE), without requiring any special CCIP-specific code.
For VSN holders, this means effortless cross-chain transfers with no slippage, thanks to audited token pools that guarantee the exact amount sent is the amount received.
This token combines the functions and strengths of Bitpanda’s previous tokens, BEST and Pantos, into one powerful asset. BEST is a loyalty token with fee discounts, staking rewards, and VIP perks. And PAN, which is focused on blockchain interoperability, into one unified token, powering a fully connected Web3 experience.
This merger simplifies the token environment into a single asset designed for global liquidity and long-term sustainable value.
The Vision Ecosystem
At the core of this is Vision Chain, a dedicated Ethereum Layer 2 network built specifically for tokenizing real-world assets. It leverages Vision for governance, staking, and loyalty rewards and acts as the compliant backbone for Europe’s on-chain finance.
With Chainlink CCIP, VSN achieves full interoperability, connecting global liquidity and enabling seamless interaction across Bitpanda’s expanding system.
Another important part of this ecosystem is the Vision Protocol, which is designed to make cross‑chain trading seamless and accessible. By aggregating liquidity from popular bridges and decentralized exchanges like 1inch and Jupiter, it enables smooth, native cross‑chain swaps directly within Bitpanda’s DeFi wallet.
The goal is simple: provide everyone with secure, compliant access to DeFi, without compromising the user experience.
Holding Vision comes with tangible benefits. Users enjoy a 20% discount on trading fees when using Bitpanda.com or the DeFi Wallet, while those who stake their VSN can earn up to 10% APY in rewards, giving even more reason to keep the token in their portfolio.
The token offers up to 10% APY in staking rewards, trading fee discounts, governance voting rights, loyalty benefits such as special airdrops and reward programs built to give back to the community, and early access to carefully vetted Web3 token launches through the Bitpanda Launchpad.
The tokens’ governance is overseen by the Vision Web 3.0 Foundation, an independent Swiss-based entity responsible for token emissions, governance, and value flows, ensuring that control doesn’t rest solely with Bitpanda.
VSN holders aren’t just passive investors; they have an active voice in shaping the network’s future, voting on protocol upgrades, reward structures, token emissions, and other key decisions.
Vision is already trading on top cryptocurrency exchanges such as Kraken, KuCoin, Gate.io, Bitpanda, MEXC, and decentralized platforms like Uniswap. As of today, the token is priced at $0.1577, with a 24-hour trading volume of $3 million and a market capitalization of $660 million.
