Belgium’s KBC Bank is set to allow retail customers to invest in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether through its Bolero platform, pending regulatory approval expected this autumn. Bolero, an online investment platform of KBC, aims to provide a secure environment for individual investors, emphasizing education and compliance with regulations. If successful, KBC will become the first major Belgian bank to offer crypto services to its retail clientele. Currently, Belgian investors tend to rely on foreign crypto exchanges and apps to access cryptocurrencies. This move reflects a broader trend among European banks exploring crypto investment opportunities, with other institutions also preparing to launch similar offerings soon.
