Join Delphine Forma, Head of Policy Europe at Solidus Labs, as she sits down with Philipp Ringel, Team Lead for Regulatory Reporting at Bitpanda.

They unpack what it takes to build and scale a regulatory reporting function inside one of Europe's leading crypto platforms — from managing over 100 reports across multiple licenses, to navigating MiCA's evolving requirements, automating complex workflows, and getting data right from the very first step of the customer journey. A practical, deep-dive into one of compliance's most underrated disciplines.

They discuss:

• what regulatory reporting is and why it matters more than most firms realise
• how Bitpanda's reporting function has evolved over five years and what that journey looks like at scale
• what makes crypto regulatory reporting uniquely challenging compared to traditional finance
• how to design a reporting process that actually works — and where to start
• why data collection and accuracy are harder than they look, and how to get it right early in the customer journey
• how to approach data normalisation and consistency across multiple reporting regimes
• how to coordinate effectively across compliance, finance, business, and engineering
• what a well-automated reporting process looks like in practice — and the role of AI
• the main MiCA reporting requirements and the key challenges firms should be aware of
• how to handle reporting to stablecoin issuers where technical standards and infrastructure are still missing
• how to balance data privacy obligations with regulatory reporting requirements
• how regulatory reporting in crypto is likely to evolve over the next few years
• what firms still early in building their reporting capabilities should prioritise first
