Vienna, Austria based crypto exchange operator Bitpanda has announced what it termed a major step forward for its institutional journey – a strategic partnership with 360T, part of Deutsche Börse Group. Together, the parties said that they will make digital assets more accessible, and scalable for financial institutions across Europe.

Building the foundation for Europe’s digital asset future

This new partnership combines Bitpanda’s digital asset technology and 360T’s MiCAR-regulated platform 3DX, to create new pathways into digital assets trading for institutional clients.

Through this integration, financial institutions will gain access to a robust infrastructure designed to minimise operational overhead, accelerate time-to-market, and support the next phase of digital adoption.

Complementary strengths for a growing market

Bitpanda and 360T said that they are bringing together two complementary pillars of expertise – modern digital asset infrastructure, and established institutional trading capabilities.

While 3DX remains the MiCAR-regulated trading venue built on familiar technology, Bitpanda provides the necessary infrastructure for crypto services.

This modular setup lets institutions offer comprehensive digital asset services to their clients while managing liquidity within the trusted 360T ecosystem.

Europe’s opportunity to lead in digital assets framework

For Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, CEO of Bitpanda, the partnership highlights how Europe can set global standards for digital asset infrastructure.

“Working with 3DX is a first step to bring together one of the leading global exchange groups with Europe’s leading digital asset platform. It also shows the role Europe can and must play globally in digital assets. Together with Deutsche Börse Group, we are building the infrastructure that will enable the next generation of institutional adoption.”

Carlo Kölzer, CEO of 360T and Global Head of FX & Digital Assets at Deutsche Börse Group, added:

“3DX was built to serve institutional clients with clarity, and flexibility. By integrating Bitpanda’s services, we are expanding the options available to our clients, particularly those looking to support downstream use cases such as client-facing digital asset offerings, without having to build sophisticated infrastructure themselves.”

Collaboration built for long-term success

Looking ahead, Bitpanda and Deutsche Börse Group said that they will continue to explore new areas of collaboration, from trading workflows and connectivity to infrastructure innovation, all aligned with evolving market and regulatory standards.

The parties added that this partnership underscores Bitpanda’s commitment to building Europe’s trusted and accessible digital asset ecosystem, enabling the future of institutional participation in crypto and digital investing.
