BPCE, one of France's largest banking groups, is preparing to launch cryptocurrency trading services for its approximately 2 million retail clients. The initiative will allow customers to buy and sell major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and USD Coin (USDC) through a separate digital asset account managed by Hexarq. This move represents a significant step in the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies in Europe, as traditional financial institutions increasingly embrace digital assets. BPCE's entry into the crypto market reflects growing institutional acceptance and recognition of cryptocurrencies as a legitimate asset class. The service is designed to provide BPCE's clients with a secure and regulated platform for cryptocurrency transactions, addressing concerns about security and compliance that have previously hindered broader adoption.
