🏦🇧🇪 Belgian Banking Giant Enters Crypto!
KBC, one of Belgium’s top financial institutions, is gearing up to launch Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) trading for retail clients through its investment platform Bolero this fall 🍂🚀. This marks the first time a major Belgian bank officially steps into the crypto game! 🔥
💻 Buy BTC & ETH Directly Through KBC
KBC is currently navigating the regulatory process to become an officially recognized crypto asset service provider 🧾. The bank expects full approval by fall, after which customers will be able to buy BTC and ETH directly from the Bolero platform — fully backed by KBC’s security, legal standards, and client education focus 🔐📚⚖️.
The bank emphasized that investor safety and compliance will be top priorities, along with tools to help users understand the crypto world better 🌍💡
🥇 A First for Belgian Banks
Until now, Belgian crypto investors had to rely on international platforms like Binance, Coinbase, and OKX 🌐, or digital banks such as Revolut and N26. But with this move, KBC becomes the first major Belgian bank to take a clear step into the crypto space 🚪💥.
Other banks in Belgium are still sitting on the sidelines:
🔸 Belfius is exploring possibilities via its platform Re=bel 🧐
🔸 ING Belgium is analyzing the market “very carefully”
🔸 BNP Paribas Fortis has no crypto plans for now ❌
🌍 Europe’s Crypto Momentum is Growing
Big European banks have traditionally avoided crypto due to regulation worries, money laundering risks, and volatility 😬. But thanks to the EU’s MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) framework, things are changing. MiCA simplifies the process for banks to enter the digital asset space without needing tons of new licenses ✅🔁
Germany is also making moves
📱 Regional banks (Sparkassen) will allow crypto trading through mobile apps starting in 2026 #BTC #bitcoin
