Crypto Goes Wild: Bitpanda CEO Talks DeFi, Stablecoins & Latin America! 🚀

by

Hold onto your Bitcoin, folks! Bitpanda is zooming across Europe and headed to Brazil faster than you can say “DeFi-diculous!” 🌎💾

In this exclusive tĂȘte-Ă -tĂȘte, CEO Lukas “The Crypto Conductor” Enzersdorfer-Konrad spills the beans on growth plans, stablecoins (yes, they’re as stable as your last relationship), and the company’s master plan to conquer the world—one region at a time.

Making Crypto Accessible Since 2014 (So You Don’t Have to Google It)

What’s the scoop on Bitpanda, the European crypto powerhouse?

“Think of us as the European version of that cool cousin who got everyone into crypto first—since 2014, we’ve been making digital gold accessible to Joe Public. Now, with over 3,200 assets including 600+ cryptos, precious metals, stocks, and ETFs, we’re basically the Amazon of digital assets.”

We serve over 7 million users, and our partners include banks so big they make your head spin. No big deal.”

And what about BTS? Sounds like a knee injury, but it’s actually your secret weapon?

“Bitpanda Technology Solutions is our behind-the-scenes magic—an infrastructure platform that helps banks, fintechs, and crypto firms offer asset trading without losing their shirts. Fully modular, fully regulated, and ready to roll. Our friends include Deutsche Bank, Raiffeisen, N26, RAKBANK, and a whole lotta European and Middle Eastern banks who like their crypto served with a side of compliance.”

Europe, Middle East, and LATAM—Oh my! 🌍

How widespread is the Bitpanda invasion, and what makes each region tick?

“Europe and the Middle East are our playgrounds—strict rules, big dreams, and lots of money. The Middle East, especially the UAE, is where regulations are so clear, even a crypto newbie can understand them (miracles do happen!). Our infrastructure adapts faster than a chameleon at a rainbow convention.”

And Brazil? Is that the next big thing?

“Brazil’s got a young, tech-savvy crowd and a serotonin boost from digital assets. We’ve assembled a crack team led by Rafael Teruszkin and are cozying up to partners—lots of conversations, some coffee, maybe a few caipirinhas. Regulatory hurdles? We jump them like the circus performers we aspire to be. Stay tuned, amigos!”

DeFi, Stablecoins & Real-World Assets—Finance’s New BFFs 😎

What’s the Crystal Ball say about digital assets?

“In the short run, think more institutions jumping in and clearer rules. Long-term? Tokenized real-world assets, stablecoins, and DeFi/CeDeFi are going to take over like a sitcom family reunion—inevitable and unavoidable.”

And what do the old-timers need to do to make it big in crypto?

“Speed, trust, and a good partnership—don’t try to do it alone, folks. Embed crypto into your DNA, and for heaven’s sake, follow the rules or you’ll end up like a bad knockoff!”

Building the Onchain Dream—With a Wink and a Prayer

Tell us about Vision—the Web3 token that’s got everyone talking.

“It’s our attempt at making Web3 accessible, regulated, and useful—nothing fancy, just practical stuff. Real assets, staking, loyalty—nothing that would make grandma’s head spin. Our goal? Tools that people actually need, not just blockchain bubblegum wrappers.”

And the Brazil DeFi Wallet? When’s the party starting?

“Patience, my friend! No official launch date yet, but Brazil’s definitely on the VIP list. We want a wallet that makes you say ‘Wow!’ not ‘Oy vey!’ — so stay tuned, or better yet, stay excited.”

And Why ‘Panda’? Does ‘Bit’ Stand for Bitcoin? Nope, Just Fortune and a Funky Name đŸŒ

“Honestly, we picked the name because the domain was cheap, and we liked the panda. Bitpanda. Sounds cute, trustworthy, and a little wild—like crypto itself. And no, ‘bit’ isn’t a secret code for Bitcoin—just good marketing and a love for animals that eat bamboo.”

Lukas, our crypto wizard, is speaking at Blockchain Rio next week—don’t miss your chance to see him live and in person, or you’ll have to settle for watching YouTube videos while crying into your keyboard.”
