BBVA Shakes Up Spanish Finance: Retail Investors Can Now Trade Bitcoin and Ethereum Directly
Spain’s banking giant BBVA just dropped a crypto bombshell—retail customers can now buy and sell Bitcoin and Ethereum through their accounts. No more jumping through offshore exchange hoops.
Why it matters: Traditional finance is finally waking up to the demand for digital assets. BBVA’s move legitimizes crypto trading for everyday investors in a major Eurozone market.
The fine print: Expect the usual ‘volatility warnings’ and ‘do your own research’ disclaimers—banks still love covering their backs while chasing crypto’s juicy fees.
Bottom line: When legacy banks start offering crypto, you know the revolution’s gone mainstream. Now watch compliance teams drown in KYC paperwork.
