Bitpanda Launches Vision Chain to Tokenize European Markets — Franklin Templeton and Ondo Launch Wallet‑Tradable Tokenized ETFs for 24/7 Access

Vienna-based Bitpanda and the Vision Web3 Foundation launched Vision Chain, a public blockchain built on Optimism’s Ethereum-based infrastructure to enable banks and fintechs to issue and settle tokenized equities, funds and other securities under EU rules (MiCA, MiFID II). The network uses euro-denominated stablecoins for fees to avoid crypto volatility and targets 24/7 compliant settlement as institutional-grade plumbing amid competition from incumbents.
AI Analysis
The announcement is a positive development for tokenization and institutional infrastructure: Bitpanda launched a public chain (Vision Chain) built on Optimism, targets regulated EU issuance/settlement under MiCA/MiFID II, and uses euro-denominated stablecoins for fees. However this is infrastructure/longer-term and not an immediate market-moving price event.
