Europe’s banks are going all in on crypto

CoinDesk
European banks are integrating digital assets directly into existing brokerage and payment platforms, driven by the regulatory clarity provided by MiCA.

Summary

European banks are shifting from keeping digital assets at arm's length to fully integrating them into their existing financial infrastructure. Enabled by the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), institutions like BBVA, DZ Bank, Société Générale, and KBC are treating digital assets as standard products rather than separate, experimental services. This integration allows banks to maintain client relationships, leverage existing compliance frameworks, and capture a growing market, signaling a fundamental change where digital assets become a core component of the traditional banking experience.
