BBVA enables BTC and ETH trading for Spanish retail users
Services integrated into mobile app under MiCA compliance
Major step for crypto adoption in traditional banking
BBVA Brings Crypto to Spanish Customers
In a major move for crypto adoption, BBVA—one of Spain’s largest banks—has launched Bitcoin and Ethereum trading and custody services for retail customers. The new features are fully integrated into the bank’s mobile app and are compliant with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation.
This marks the first time BBVA has opened up digital asset services to the broader public in Spain, after previously testing limited offerings in Switzerland. Now, any eligible Spanish retail customer can buy, sell, and store BTC and ETH directly from their bank account—all within a regulated framework.
Seamless and Secure with MiCA Oversight
BBVA’s crypto rollout stands out not just for its convenience but for its full compliance with MiCA, the European Union’s landmark crypto regulation framework. This ensures that all crypto transactions through the app meet strict standards for consumer protection, transparency, and anti-money laundering.
The bank’s integration of crypto into traditional banking services helps bridge the gap between digital assets and mainstream finance. It also sets a precedent for other EU financial institutions considering similar offerings as regulatory clarity improves.

A Big Step Toward Mass Adoption
By making Bitcoin and Ethereum accessible through a trusted bank app, BBVA is lowering the barrier for average users to enter the crypto market. Users can now manage both traditional and digital assets in one place, backed by one of Europe’s most reputable banks.
This move could push other major banks to follow suit, especially as crypto becomes more deeply embedded in global finance. For now, BBVA’s launch positions it as a leader in bringing regulated crypto access to retail banking in the EU.
