BBVA became the first major Spanish bank to roll out 24/7 retail cryptocurrency trading on October 2, 2025, offering its customers direct access to Bitcoin and Ether through its existing digital banking platforms. This service received approval from Spain’s securities regulator, CNMV.
This strategic move positions BBVA as a pioneer in integrating digital assets into traditional banking services within Spain. It caters to the growing demand for cryptocurrencies and enhances BBVA's reputation for innovation in the financial sector.
For investors, this represents a new revenue stream and an opportunity to attract a tech-savvy customer base. BBVA's regulated entry into retail crypto trading could set a precedent for other European banks and solidify its competitive advantage in the evolving digital finance landscape.
