Bitpanda’s Global Gambit: Crypto, Compliance & Chaos 🚀💸
Vishal Sacheendran, Bitpanda’s VP of Global Markets Strategy, recently declared that regulation is not a bureaucratic thorn in their side but a “growth engine.” A bold claim, akin to calling a crocodile a pet. Yet, he insists, securing MiCAR, FCA, and VARA approvals was not a box-ticking exercise but a “deliberate strategy to create a consistent operational model across regions.” A phrase that sounds suspiciously like a euphemism for “we hired a team of lawyers to nap in different time zones.”
