Belgium’s KBC Bank plans to let retail customers invest in Bitcoin and Ether via its Bolero platform, pending regulatory approval expected this autumn. KBC, one of Belgium’s largest banks, confirmed that customers would have the opportunity to invest directly in these cryptocurrencies in a secure environment. This move would mark KBC as the first major Belgian bank to provide crypto services to retail customers, who currently rely on foreign exchanges and crypto-friendly apps. The rollout comes as European banks increasingly explore crypto investment and custody solutions. KBC aims for educational support and compliance with regulations as part of the offering.
