CaixaBank and Kutxabank Forge Ahead with Crypto Trade Plans Amid Regulatory Changes



Spain witnesses a significant shift in the banking sector with CaixaBank, Kutxabank, and Renta 4 embarking on the journey to introduce crypto services, following the footsteps of BBVA. This move comes after the enactment of the European Union's MiCA regulations, which have facilitated a clearer path for banks to delve into crypto custody and trading. Specifically, BBVA has disclosed plans to start offering Bitcoin and Ethereum trading through its mobile app following regulatory approvals. This development highlights a growing interest among traditional banks in the burgeoning crypto market, although not all are ready to join. Notables such as Bankinter and Sabadell are among those who have opted out of entering the crypto services realm. Meanwhile, CaixaBank spokespeople noted that the bank is considering launching cryptoasset services targeted particularly at tech-savvy young investors in Spain. Similarly, Kutxabank is not far behind in bolstering its service offerings with planned crypto trading capabilities, emphasizing its ongoing preparation for necessary regulatory submissions. These strategic movements underscore an adaptation phase within the Spanish banking industry towards embracing cryptocurrency operations, setting a landmark in their financial service evolution.
