AC MILAN AND BITPANDA JOIN FORCES FOR VISION (VSN) TOKEN LAUNCH

AC Milan and Bitpanda, Europe's leading crypto platform, are pleased to announce a further expansion of their partnership. The Rossoneri will support the launch of Vision (VSN), the token powering Bitpanda's new Web3 ecosystem.

Set to launch on July 16, Vision (VSN) will serve as the central token in Bitpanda's upcoming suite of Web3 products. From day one, token holders will enjoy tangible rewards, including staking incentives, governance rights, fee reductions, and early access to token sales. This strategic collaboration with the Rossoneri Club aims to unite the passion of football with the transformative potential of Web3 innovation.

The partnership between AC Milan and Bitpanda, which began in 2024, took a major step forward in February 2025, when Bitpanda became the Back-of-Shirt Sponsor for the Men's First Team, officially joining the Club's prestigious group of Principal Partners. Now, with the launch of Vision, AC Milan becomes a key strategic ally in the development of Bitpanda's Web3 ecosystem, offering an unparalleled platform for global distribution. The Club will act as a powerful amplifier, connecting the Vision project with millions of Rossoneri fans worldwide.

The launch of Vision marks a pivotal milestone in Bitpanda's mission to make Web3 technology accessible, functional, and rewarding. It represents a bold move toward creating a secure, inclusive ecosystem where blockchain innovation delivers real-world value. Through high-impact collaborations with iconic global brands like AC Milan, Bitpanda is bridging the gap between digital finance and everyday experiences.

Maikel Oettle, Chief Commercial Officer of AC Milan, commented: "At AC Milan, innovation is part of our DNA. We are constantly looking for new ways to deepen our connection with fans, and partnering with a cutting-edge platform like Bitpanda allows us to do just that. We're excited to be working alongside a partner who shares our ambition to push boundaries and embrace the future of digital interaction."

"This is a rare opportunity to combine robust infrastructure with cultural influence from day one," said Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, Deputy CEO of Bitpanda. "AC Milan brings global reach and emotional resonance, while Bitpanda delivers trusted, regulated infrastructure. Together, we are setting the standard for how sport and Web3 can come together meaningfully."
