4.1 LP Participants from BEST VIP Level 2 and higher and Bitpanda Club Silver or Gold have a vote in deciding which Token (A-Token, E-Token or M-Token) should be offered and traded in the future on Bitpanda Systems (“VIP Asset Voting”). For the avoidance of doubt, the LP Participant has neither voting rights in Bitpanda GmbH or any of its Affiliates or its governance, strategy and similar votes nor to any profit distributions or company decisions of any kind.
4.2 For this purpose, Bitpanda will conduct VIP Asset Voting on a regular basis. As soon as a new VIP Asset Voting goes live, Bitpanda will inform about it on social media and/or a blog post.
4.3 LP Participants (with BEST VIP Level 2 or higher and Bitpanda Club Silver or Gold) who are eligible to vote will be informed about all further voting processes the first time they log in to their Bitpanda Client Account via pop-up.
4.4 For purposes of voting, each LP Participant with BEST VIP Level 2 or higher and Bitpanda Club Silver or Gold may vote one time (for single choice voting) or multiple times (for multiple choice voting). Any amount of BEST held by an eligible LP Participant above the required BEST VIP Level 2 threshold shall not be relevant for voting purposes and therefore does not confer more voting power. LP Participants who have reached BEST VIP level 2 or higher and also reached Bitpanda Club Silver or Gold have no additional voting right.
4.5 The voting results are published anonymously by Bitpanda as a blog post https://blog.bitpanda.com/en and/or on other Bitpanda mediums such as Bitpanda’s social media channels or Bitpanda’s website.
4.6 Following the results of the votes cast for a potential listing of a Token in the course of a VIP Asset Voting, Bitpanda will make reasonable efforts, but does neither guarantee nor promise, to offer (or not offer) such digital asset via Bitpanda Systems in the future.
5.1 Eligible LP Participants. LP Participants may be entitled to collect BEST through the BEST rewards system as set out in this point 5. To be eligible to do so, a LP Participant must (i) have a VIP Level status as outlined in point 1.2, (ii) hold such number of BEST required for the VIP Level in their Bitpanda Broker Wallet, (iii) buy or sell at least one digital asset once a week on Bitpanda Systems (the Conversion of Cash Plus A-Token is excluded and does not constitute a purchase or sale of a digital asset), (iv) actively accept these Terms and (v) actively claim these BEST Rewards.
5.2 Reward System. The following rewards are offered within the Bitpanda Loyalty Program: Weekly Base Rewards according to point 5.5, Weekly Bonus Rewards according to point 5.6, Trading Rewards according to point 5.7 (collectively referred to as "BEST Weekly Rewards") and Instant Trade Bonus according to point 5.8 (together with the BEST Weekly Rewards referred to as "BEST Rewards").
5.3 Snapshot. At the end of every week (Monday-Sunday), (i) a Bitpanda Client’s respective BEST, held in the Wallet assigned to the Bitpanda Broker ("BEST Holdings"), (ii) BEST VIP Level and (iii) weekly trading volumes are determined via a snapshot ("Snapshot"). The Snapshot will always take place every Sunday at 23:59:59 CET (Central European Time). Bitpanda GmbH intends to credit BEST Weekly Rewards to the respective Wallet designated for BEST ("BEST Wallet") on the following Monday for the previous week. That crediting may be delayed due to unforeseeable technical disruptions. The necessary steps for the BEST crediting will be taken as soon as possible.
5.4 Active Claiming. Active claiming of BEST Rewards must be done as displayed on Bitpanda Systems by actively tapping the "Claim BEST Rewards" button ("Active Claiming"). A retroactive claim of BEST Rewards is excluded in any case.
5.5 Weekly Base Rewards. LP Participants who meet the requirements of point 5.1 are eligible to collect weekly rewards in the amount of 0.1% of their BEST Holdings at the time of the Snapshot ("Weekly Base Rewards").
5.6 Weekly Bonus Rewards. LP Participants from BEST VIP Level 2 upwards can further claim BEST according to their BEST VIP Level on a weekly basis in addition to the Weekly Base Rewards ("Weekly Bonus Rewards"). The following table sets out the percentage rate of the Weekly Bonus Rewards:
BEST VIP Level | Additional % of BEST |
Level 2 | +0.025% per week |
Level 3 | +0.05% per week |
Level 4 | +0.075% per week |
Level 5 | +0.1% per week |
5.7 Trading Rewards. In addition to the above, all LP Participants that fulfil all criteria as set forth in point 5.1 are eligible to receive further weekly BEST rewards if certain thresholds in trading volume are reached ("Trading Rewards") (as set out below in point 5.7.1 and 5.7.2). The Trading Rewards therefore depend on (i) the LP Participant’s trading volume and (ii) the type of digital asset class traded via Bitpanda Broker the previous week. The previous week is the week that ended with the respective Snapshot for each week. The Trading Rewards percentages refer to the BEST Holdings of the respective LP Participant at the moment of the Snapshot.
5.7.1 Trading volume E-Token and M-Token. The trading volumes of E-Token and M-Token on Bitpanda Broker are added. The trading volume is calculated from the equivalent value of the E-Token or M-Token at the time of the respective trade. If the trading volumes exceed one of the following thresholds, the following Trading Rewards will be paid-out:
(i) (≥) EUR 1,000: +0.01% per week;
(ii) (≥) EUR 3,000: +0.025% per week;
(iii) (≥) EUR 10,000: +0.05% per week; or
(iv) (≥) EUR 30,000: +0.075% per week;
5.7.2 Trading volume A-Token excluding Cash Plus A-Token. The trading volumes of all A-Token except Cash Plus A-Token on Bitpanda Broker are added. The trading volume is calculated from the equivalent value of the A-Token excluding Cash Plus A-Token at the time of the respective trade. For the avoidance of doubt, Cash Plus A-Token means A-Token with those MMFs as underlying for which Bitpanda GmbH offers Cash Plus, held by Cash Plus Client. If the trading volumes exceed one of the following thresholds, the following Trading Rewards will be paid-out:
(i) (≥ ) EUR 3,000: +0.01% per week;
(ii) (≥ ) EUR 10,000: +0.025% per week;
(iii) (≥ ) EUR 30,000: +0.05% per week; or
(iv) (≥ ) EUR 100,000: +0.075% per week;
5.7.3 No trading volume of L-Tokens. For the avoidance of doubt, a purchase or sale of L-Tokens is not included in the calculation of the Trading Volume thresholds for Trading Rewards.
5.8 Instant Trade Bonus. Via the Instant Trade Bonus, LP Participants may be entitled to collect further BEST rewards between 0.005% and 0.25% (depending on the Token the LP Participant has traded) of the volume traded on Bitpanda Broker - added instantly after every transaction to the BEST Wallet (“Instant Trade Bonus”). The amount of BEST rewards collected via the Instant Trade Bonus is adjusted according to the LP Participants BEST VIP Level. The higher the BEST VIP Level, the higher the Instant Trade Bonus the LP Participant may be entitled to collect. The following table sets out the percentage rate of the additional collection of BEST rewards via the Instant Trade Bonus:
BEST VIP Level & Instant Trade Bonus Asset Class | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
E-Token | 0.05% | 0.1 % | 0.15% | 0.2 % | 0.25% |
M-Token | 0.05% | 0.1 % | 0.15% | 0.2 % | 0.25% |
A-Token excluding Cash Plus A-Token | 0.005% | 0.01 % | 0.015% | 0.02 % | 0.025% |

9.1 Bitpanda GmbH takes measures for BEST’s deflation to stabilise BEST’s intrinsic value: Bitpanda GmbH burns BEST in the amount of 25% of the collected trading premiums by BEST holders with a BEST VIP Level. This burning process is intended to be repeated monthly until a maximum of 75% of the total BEST (out of 1 billion BEST originally issued) has been burned (“BEST Stimulus and Burn Program").
9.2 Any deflationary measures do not represent a claim on or against (Forderung gegenüber) Bitpanda GmbH or any of its Affiliates. Bitpanda GmbH may terminate, withhold or pause the BEST Stimulus and Burn Program anytime for objectively justified reasons and you do not have any legal claim against Bitpanda in such a case.
