Bitcoin and Ethereum Trading Now Available to Clients of Major Spanish Bank
A leading Spanish bank has secured official authorization from the nation's financial regulator to begin offering Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) trading services to its clients.
This approval comes in line with the full implementation of the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation, which aims to establish a comprehensive legal framework for digital asset services within the European Union.
The move marks the culmination of years of efforts by the bank to incorporate cryptocurrency trading into its portfolio of services. Initially, the bank explored the crypto space in 2020, starting its journey by launching digital asset services in Switzerland, where regulatory clarity for cryptocurrencies was already in place.

Expanding its reach, the bank also brought its crypto offerings to Turkey in early 2025, making Bitcoin and Ethereum trading available through its local branch. The bank’s European operations are part of a broader trend, with other major financial institutions such as Deutsche Bank and Société Générale also integrating blockchain and digital asset services.
As the MiCA regulations roll out, many other traditional financial institutions across Europe are expected to follow suit and offer crypto-related services to their clients. This move not only signifies a milestone in the bank’s crypto adoption strategy but also sets the stage for more European banks to embrace digital asset services under the new regulatory framework.
