CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to The Fintech Times, Spain's second-largest bank BBVA has launched trading and custody services for Bitcoin and Ethereum through its mobile application for retail customers, further expanding its regulated digital asset services in Europe.
This service launch was initiated after submitting a regulatory filing to the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) in March 2025, and it is now open to all customers of legal age.
This service allows customers to buy, sell, and hold crypto assets within BBVA's existing digital banking environment. BBVA has fully integrated this service into its own application, without relying on any third-party platforms or custodians. Customers can initiate transactions independently, and the bank does not provide investment advice. [Original link]
