BBVA announced on September 9, 2025, a partnership with blockchain payments firm Ripple to expand its institutional-grade digital asset custody technology to support retail clients in Spain. This initiative will allow BBVA to manage Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) for its customers.
The collaboration is a direct response to the growing demand for cryptocurrencies and crypto-based assets, positioning BBVA as a key player in the regulated digital asset space in Europe. This service will operate under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) rules.
For investors, this strategic move highlights BBVA's commitment to innovation and its proactive approach to integrating digital assets into its mainstream banking services. Expanding crypto custody offerings can attract new client segments and diversify BBVA's revenue streams in the evolving financial landscape.
