BBVA Spain has started offering cryptocurrency trading and custody services to regular customers. This is a big step towards making digital assets more common. The service lets you safely access Bitcoin and Ether directly through BBVA’s regulated banking platform. After filing the relevant disclosure with the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), the bank has been gradually rolling out the service in recent weeks. Customers can now use this service to trade in bitcoin and ether directly through the BBVA app, all within a fully integrated environment that also includes the bank’s other financial services. Right now, BBVA retail customers in Spain can buy, sell, and hold bitcoin and ether directly via the mobile app, as a further show of the bank’s firm commitment to offering a seamless, fully digital experience. The initiative is aligned with the European Regulation on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), which governs the issuance and provision of crypto-asset services within the European Union and provides additional safeguards and protection for investors. The bank will not provide investment advice on these assets, and access to the service will be exclusively customer-initiated through the app. This move makes BBVA Spain one of the first big banks in the area to offer crypto services to regular customers. With its crypto rollout, BBVA Spain aims to meet the growing need for reliable digital asset services while staying fully compliant with the law.
