Spanish banking giant BBVA has launched Bitcoin and Ethereum trading for its retail customers in Spain through its mobile app.
Customers can now buy, sell, and store Bitcoin and Ethereum using BBVA's integrated and self-managed service under EU MiCA regulations.
BBVA's move marks a significant step in its digital asset strategy, allowing individuals to invest in cryptocurrencies from their smartphones with the bank's in-house custody system.
BBVA has expanded its digital asset services across countries, previously offering crypto trading in Switzerland and Turkey, and now enabling wider public access in Spain.
