BBVA Gains Approval to Offer Bitcoin and Ethereum Trading in Spain
Spain’s BBVA has been approved by regulators to provide Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) transactions and is consistent with EU mica regulations, Reuters reported. This marks the end of years of efforts to expand to digital assets. Initially, the BBVA planned to launch crypto services in Switzerland due to its clear regulations. The bank also launched cryptocurrency transactions in Türkiye in January. Other European banks, including Deutsche Bank and Sociétégénérale, have also expanded to blockchain and crypto services.
