BBVA Bank Gets Green Light for Crypto Trading in Spain
BBVA bank introduces Bitcoin and Ethereum trading in Spain, signaling a major step towards mainstream crypto adoption in Europe.
Spain’s second-largest bank, BBVA, has received approval from the country’s securities regulator to offer Bitcoin and Ether trading services.
This new initiative enables BBVA retail clients to securely buy, sell, and manage Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) transactions directly through the bank’s mobile app, alongside their regular accounts and investments.
The move marks a significant expansion of BBVA’s efforts to integrate digital assets into its financial services portfolio.
Initially available to a small group of users, the service will gradually be rolled out to all private customers in Spain over the coming months, as the bank aims to make cryptocurrency investment more accessible to its clients.
