Foundation led, Community Driven: The Q4 Vision Burn
A step forward for sustainability and trust
The Vision Foundation just executed the Q4 Vision burn, removing 60 million VSN worth $4,816,860.00 from the total supply.
Once again, this brings the total supply below the initial 4.2B VSN, highlighting the foundation’s commitment to responsible governance and ensuring the long‑term sustainability of the token supply.

Token burns are an essential part of Vision’s tokenomics. They reduce supply, align long‑term incentives, and tie the token’s value directly to real adoption across products connected to the Vision and Bitpanda Web3 ecosystem.
The evolving flywheel
Since the first Vision Burn at the end of Q3, the amount of VSN collected through the product suite has significantly increased.
Profits generated across the ecosystem have fed directly into the burn amount, and the flywheel is accelerating quite nicely. With the next products and product developments, such as the full Engage section and the upcoming Launchpad, this process will further progress, until it becomes a wholly self-sufficient system.
Balancing growth and supply
While we are progressing towards our goal of organically counteracting inflation just from the collected revenues, we are not there yet.
Therefore, the Vision Web3 Foundation has once again decided to top up the burn amount from its treasury, to reach a slight supply deflation.
Foundation governance and decision‑making
Decisions of the Vision Web3 Foundation are made collectively by the Foundation Board, ensuring all key actions, such as treasury management, future ecosystem grants, and marketing budgets follow a strict governance process grounded in expertise, and accountability.
Each board member brings unique professional experience from law, finance, innovation, and compliance. Together, they ensure Vision is governed following the highest standards to balance sustainable long-term decision-making with the interests of the community.

Fabian Reinisch
President of the Foundation Board | General Counsel, Bitpanda
“Vision and soon the Vision Chain, create the structural backbone for a secure, transparent and future-proof framework for tokenised finance. With a governance model built on accountability and expertise, we ensure that each decision supports sustainable growth and lasting value for the entire ecosystem.”
Bernadette Leuzinger
Board Member | VP Compliance, Bitpanda
“Strong governance is the backbone of VSN. By turning principles of compliance and control into action, the Foundation ensures our ecosystem stays trusted and future‑proof.”
Dr. Hans Kuhn
Board Member | Co‑founder & Partner, Lawside
“As a lawyer focused on financial markets and blockchain regulation, I view VSN as a rare example of compliance and innovation coexisting. Vision’s governance ensures tokenisation can scale securely within a legally sound framework.”
Gilles Thiéry
Board Member | Managing Director of LacMont
“The VSN model combines financial rigour with disciplined treasury governance, fostering transparency, trust, and long-term sustainability.”
Curt Chadha
Board Member | Head of Strategy & Innovation, Raiffeisen-Holding NÖ‑Wien
“Vision represents how regulated banking and Web3 innovation can move forward together. I’m very excited about the future of Vision and how we can bridge traditional and decentralised finance with the upcoming Vision Chain”
Looking ahead
Vision is not only preparing for this future of finance. It is helping shape it.The mission of the Foundation remains consistent: build a trusted infrastructure that supports the next generation of tokenised finance in Europe and beyond.
This means an environment where value can move securely, where users retain control without unnecessary complexity and where innovation is shaped hand in hand with regulation rather than in conflict with it.As the ecosystem expands through Vision Chain and new Web3 integrations across Bitpanda, the sources of value will continue shifting toward actual participation, network usage and activity-based fees. Future burns will follow this trajectory.
They will be organic, predictable and driven by the economic flywheel at the heart of Vision’s tokenomics. This burn represents more than an operational milestone action.
It reinforces the principle that a sustainable token economy must come from real usage, thoughtful governance and long-term alignment. Vision is designed to grow through genuine activity, not artificial incentives.
