Bitpanda Technology Solutions, the digital asset infrastructure arm of European crypto platform Bitpanda, has entered into a partnership with Banco BS2, becoming its first banking partner in Latin America.
The agreement allows Banco BS2, a Brazilian digital bank focused on corporate and institutional clients, to integrate institutional-grade crypto infrastructure as it expands its digital asset offerings.
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.
