Deutsche Börse Group's FX and digital assets division 360T has announced a partnership with Austrian crypto platform Bitpanda, which aims to expand institutional access to crypto trading across Europe.
The firm said in a press release with CryptoNews that it will bring Bitpanda's digital asset infrastructure together with 3DX, 360T's MiCA-regulated crypto-asset trading platform as financial institutions increasingly seek regulatory avenues into digital assets.
The companies said the partnership will support institutional clients seeking to provide crypto services while meeting European regulatory requirements in the Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) markets.
3DX and Bitpanda combine institutional trading with retail
Under the agreement, 360T 3DX will operate as a MiCA-controlled trading platform built on institutional-grade technology. Bitpanda provides the infrastructure needed for retail crypto services.
The company says the integration will allow banks and financial institutions to offer digital asset services to end users without having to develop complex systems in-house.
As stated in the press release, each entity will continue to be responsible for its own prescribed tasks by ensuring separation of responsibilities as the sector develops.
Europe positions itself as a hub for institutional digital assets.
Bitpanda CEO Lucas Inzersdorfer-Konrad said the partnership is an important step in building the next generation of institutional crypto infrastructure in Europe.
“Together with the Deutsche Börse Group, we are building the infrastructure to develop the next generation of institutional digital assets,” he said. “Partnering with 3DX is an important step as we continue to scale partner solutions.”
Inzersdorfer-Konrad added that the cooperation highlights Europe's growing role in shaping global digital asset markets through regulatory frameworks and established financial actors.
Deutsche Börse expands customer options
CEO of 360T and Global Head of FX and Digital Assets at Deutsche Börse Group 3DX is designed to provide institutions with compliant access and flexibility.
“By integrating Bitpanda's services, we're expanding the options available to our customers, especially looking to support downstream use cases such as customer-facing delivery of digital assets without having to build sophisticated infrastructure themselves,” Kolzer said.
More collaboration on navigation
Both companies announced that they are exploring areas of cooperation beyond marketing, including connectivity, workflow integration and infrastructure development.
The partnership reflects growing demand among European financial institutions for regulated crypto trading venues and service providers that can support both institutional money management and retail distribution.
As MiCA implementation progresses, partnerships such as 360T and Bitpanda's are expected to play a central role in shaping Europe's institutional digital asset landscape.
