Spanish bank BBVA has received approval from the financial regulator to offer Bitcoin and Ethereum trading services to its clients as part of the implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation in the European Union. This step completes the years-long effort to introduce crypto trading, which began in 2020. BBVA already launched cryptocurrency operations in Turkey in January 2025. The bank is not the first in Europe, as such services have also been offered by Deutsche Bank and Société Générale.
