360T Partners With Bitpanda to Expand MiCA-Regulated Crypto Access in Europe

Deutsche Börse Group’s FX and digital assets arm 360T has announced a partnership with Austria-based crypto platform Bitpanda, as the two firms look to widen institutional access to crypto trading through a regulated route under Europe’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework.

The deal brings together Bitpanda’s digital asset infrastructure with 3DX, 360T’s MiCA-regulated crypto-asset trading platform. The companies said the integration is designed to help banks and financial institutions offer crypto services while meeting regulatory requirements — without needing to build complex in-house infrastructure from scratch.

Under the agreement, 3DX will operate as the MiCA-regulated trading venue, built on institutional-grade technology, while Bitpanda will provide the infrastructure needed for retail-facing crypto services. Both parties said they will remain responsible for their own regulated activities, with a clear separation of duties as the sector matures.

Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, CEO of Bitpanda, said the partnership supports the build-out of Europe’s institutional crypto ecosystem.

“Together with Deutsche Börse Group, we are building the infrastructure that will enable the next generation of institutional digital asset adoption,” he said. “Partnering with 3DX is an important step as we continue to scale our partner solutions.”

Carlo Kölzer, CEO of 360T and Global Head of FX & Digital Assets at Deutsche Börse Group, said the goal is to give institutions compliant access while enabling downstream use cases.

“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,” Kölzer said.
