Global Dollar Network (GDN) today announced that Bitpanda, one of Europe’s leading digital asset platforms, will launch USDG trading markets as well as deposits and withdrawals on February 5, 2026. This partnership enables millions of European investors and businesses to access trusted, compliant digital dollars.
Global Dollar (USDG) will be available for trading on Bitpanda’s platform, offering users access to a stablecoin that meets the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework. As USDG is issued under the supervision of Finland’s Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA), it provides European users with a transparent, trusted digital dollar issuance option that complies with the EU’s stringent consumer protection and regulatory standards.
GDN is a more open, enterprise-grade digital dollar ecosystem fueling real-world financial use cases of stablecoins by rewarding network partners for their contributions to growing the network. Partners can earn rewards by minting, utilizing or accepting USDG.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Bitpanda to GDN so that they can economically benefit while also offering their European users the safest, most trusted digital dollar,” said Linnea Perelli-Minetti, Global Dollar Network. “This also represents our commitment to providing compliant, accessible digital dollar solutions that meet the highest regulatory standards. Bitpanda’s reputation for security and user experience makes them an ideal partner as we expand USDG’s presence in European markets.”
Bitpanda users will be able to access USDG through the platform’s existing interface, with the ability to trade, hold and transfer the stablecoin alongside other digital assets. The integration leverages Bitpanda’s robust infrastructure to provide seamless access to USDG’s benefits, including fast settlement times, transparent reserve backing and regulatory compliance. This adoption underscores global demand for a trusted dollar-backed stablecoin that combines equitable economics under clear regulatory authority across geographies. USDG is one of the few stablecoins that has achieved scale and deep liquidity while maintaining strict standards of transparency.
“Adding USDG to our platform allows us to offer our users a MiCA-compliant stablecoin option that meets the regulatory expectations of European markets,” said Dominik Beier, Chief Commercial Officer at Bitpanda. “As the regulatory landscape evolves, we’re committed to providing our users with digital assets that combine innovation with compliance and USDG represents exactly that standard.”
Today’s launch will make USDG available to Bitpanda’s millions of users across Europe, providing them with a regulated on-ramp to digital dollar usage for payments, savings and trading.
