Bitpanda's Mathieu Henry: Why Europe's Crypto Goes Mainstream by 2028

In this episode of Bitcoin.com News Interviews, host David Sensel sits down with Mathieu Henry, Head of Bitpanda Enterprise in France, to discuss the accelerating mainstream adoption of crypto in Europe. Henry outlines Bitpanda’s evolution from a retail-focused crypto platform founded in 2014 to a leading regulated provider of institutional-grade digital asset services through its Bitpanda Enterprise division. He emphasizes that by 2028, crypto will be fully commoditized in Europe, driven by regulatory clarity from MiCA and growing institutional participation. The conversation explores Bitpanda’s strategic partnerships—particularly with France’s largest payments app, Lydia—and the company’s role in enabling banks, fintechs, and payment platforms to offer crypto services securely. Henry also reflects on France’s crypto adoption trends, noting a flattening of retail growth but strong momentum in the B2B space due to trust and regulation. He concludes with a vision for Bitpanda Enterprise to become a top global enabler of institutional crypto adoption within five years.
