What is Vision (VSN)?

Vision (ticker: VSN) is Bitpanda’s new unified token, born from the strategic merge of BEST (Bitpanda Ecosystem Token) and Pantos (PAN). Designed to power the future of Bitpanda's Web3 product suite, Vision unlocks utility, interoperability, and long-term growth across Wallet, Protocol, Chain, and Launchpad.

The launch of Vision simplifies our ecosystem, unifies our community, and introduces a token truly built for the next generation of crypto.

Why are we merging BEST and PAN?

Both BEST and PAN were created with valuable but distinct purposes:

  • BEST: A loyalty token with trading fee discounts, staking perks, and Bitpanda VIP levels.
  • Pantos: A protocol-focused token solving blockchain interoperability.
     

By merging them into Vision, we:

  • Eliminate complexity and legacy limitations
  • Introduce a token with real, cross-platform utility
  • Prepare for global listings and decentralised liquidity
  • Lay the foundation for a fully onchain, user-governed future
     

This is not just a merge, it’s a strategic evolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don’t accept the merge?
You can withdraw your BEST and/or PAN to an external wallet. However, Bitpanda will no longer offer trading markets for either token after 16 July 2025 at 10:00 CEST. Any remaining BEST or PAN held on Bitpanda will be automatically converted to VSN one year after the merge event.
What will happen to BEST & PAN savings plan?

Your BEST and PAN savings plans will be automatically migrated to VSN once the token is live. If you do not wish for this to happen, you can cancel your savings plans before 5 July 2025.

Note: If you have a savings plan for both PAN and BEST, they will each convert into separate VSN savings plans. They will not be merged into a single plan. Please cancel one in advance if you wish to avoid having two.

Will there still be VIP levels as part of the Vision loyalty programme?
The Vision Loyalty Programme moves beyond rigid VIP tiers. Benefits like voting power and Spotlight rewards now scale dynamically with your engagement—the more you hold and stake, the more you unlock.
What happens to existing BEST Loyalty programme benefits?

All current BEST VIPs will keep their increased staking rewards and boosted Bitpanda Cash Plus yields, based on their VIP level at the time the merge date is announced, until the end of 2025.

From 2026, you can continue enjoying benefits through the Bitpanda Club. After the merge date is announced, it will no longer be possible to unlock new BEST VIP levels. The BEST Weekly Rewards and Instant Trade Bonus will also be phased out.

Am I still part of the Bitpanda Club?

Yes. BEST VIP4 and VIP5 members at the time the merge date is announced will retain their Bitpanda Club status until the end of 2025, regardless of their current holdings. From 2026 onward, VSN holdings will no longer grant automatic Club access, but you will still be able to qualify through trading activity.
