Vienna law firm reviews refund claims over Bitpanda's BEST, Pantos and VSN tokens

  • —Austria's FMA fined Bitpanda €70,000 in August 2026 over MiCAR breaches tied to the VSN whitepaper
  • —The law firm is reviewing refunds, damages and whitepaper liability for BEST, PAN and VSN
  • —BEST and PAN were merged into VSN on July 16, 2025, at 1 BEST = 4.91 VSN and 1 PAN = 0.89 VSN
  • —Operating profit at Bitpanda reportedly fell from about €80 million to €4 million in 2025
Why it matters: The case could set a precedent for token-issuer liability under MiCAR and raise legal risks for European crypto platforms.
