Brazil’s Banco BS2 Partners with Bitpanda to Build Institutional-Grade Crypto Infrastructure

Brazil's Banco BS2 just made its biggest crypto move yet—teaming up with European exchange giant Bitpanda to launch a full-scale institutional digital asset platform.

Why this partnership changes everything

This isn't just another bank dabbling in Bitcoin. BS2 is leveraging Bitpanda's battle-tested technology stack to offer Brazilian institutions everything from custody and trading to staking and tokenized assets. Think of it as Wall Street-grade infrastructure landing in São Paulo.

The institutional floodgates are opening

Brazil's financial landscape is shifting fast. With clear regulations taking shape and institutional demand surging, banks can't afford to sit on the sidelines. This partnership gives BS2 a first-mover advantage in a market hungry for legitimate crypto access.

Traditional finance gets a crypto backbone

Bitpanda's white-label solution lets BS2 skip years of development headaches. The bank gets a secure, scalable platform while Bitpanda expands its global footprint—a classic case of leveraging existing tech instead of reinventing the wheel.

What this means for Brazil's financial future

Expect more Brazilian banks to follow suit. Once one major player builds proper crypto rails, the rest face a simple choice: adapt or watch their clients migrate to competitors who offer digital asset services.

The bottom line? Brazil's institutional crypto race just got real—and traditional banks are finally building more than just PowerPoint presentations about blockchain.

Bitpanda Expands Institutional Footprint in Latin America

Earlier this year Bitpanda announced plans to expand into Latin America several months ago, Banco BS2 becomes BTS’ first banking partner in the region.

Bitpanda Technology Solutions said it aims to provide regulated financial institutions with modular, scalable infrastructure that allows them to enter the digital asset market without building technology in-house. The MOVE shows growing interest among Latin American banks in offering crypto-related services to institutional and corporate clients.

Fusion Platform to Power Trading and Liquidity

As part of the agreement, Banco BS2 will initially integrate Fusion, Bitpanda’s advanced trading and liquidity platform designed for institutional use. Fusion aggregates liquidity from multiple venues and is built to support high-throughput trading, execution efficiency, and risk management.

Beyond trading, the partnership framework allows Banco BS2 to explore additional components of Bitpanda’s infrastructure stack, including custody technology and tokenization capabilities. Any further deployment will be subject to regulatory approvals and Banco BS2’s internal governance and customer-facing controls, said the firm.

Growing Institutional Demand

Nadeem Ladki, Managing Director at Bitpanda Technology Solutions, said the partnership shows there is growing institutional demand for experienced infrastructure providers as crypto adoption grows.

“Brazil is entering a new phase of digital asset adoption, and financial institutions will need partners with DEEP experience operating in these environments,” Ladki said. “Banco BS2’s vision for the digital asset economy aligns closely with what our infrastructure enables.”

Carlos Eduardo T. de Andrade Jr., an executive at Banco BS2, said the collaboration supports the bank’s strategy meeting international standards while navigating Brazil’s regulatory landscape.

“Bitpanda’s infrastructure allows us to move forward safely and efficiently in offering services related to the digital asset ecosystem, keeping pace with regulatory evolution and the demands of the Brazilian market,” he said.

Brazil’s Regulatory Clarity Accelerates Bank Adoption

The partnership comes as Brazil’s digital asset market enters a more mature phase. Earlier this year, the Central Bank of Brazil (Bacen) issued landmark crypto regulations, providing clearer guidelines for financial institutions engaging with digital assets.

The regulatory clarity has encouraged banks to explore crypto trading, custody, and tokenization services in a more structured and compliant manner.

Bitpanda and EurocoinPay Sign Deal

Earlier this month, Bitpanda announced a new partnership with EurocoinPay intended to widen access to institutional-grade crypto liquidity across Spain.

Under the agreement, EurocoinPay said it will integrate Bitpanda’s liquidity platform, allowing its users to trade more than 650 crypto-assets with competitive pricing and high-quality execution.

EurocoinPay has been a key player in Spain’s digital asset landscape for years. The partnership seeks to allow the company to have a much broader asset catalogue, delivered through a compliant infrastructure trusted by institutions across Europe.
