• The US residential construction minister is intended to use blockchain use for the allocation of residential grants, but insiders fear mismanagement from the authority due to bad experiences.
• The crypto-friendly attitude of the Trump administration heats speculations, but this is denied by official plans for the introduction of blockchain or stablecoin.

A report From Prublica According to the U.S. Ministry for Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the use of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology is considering pursuing federal housing grants. Internal discussions within the HUD examined the integration of crypto and blockchain into its financial supervisory systems.

Sources that are familiar with the matter stated that Hud officials had discussions about the use of blockchain to monitor apartment grants. While the supporters argue that the technology could improve transparency and efficiency, critics fear that a poorly planned introduction could destabilize the housing assistant. An insider warned:

“This means that only another unregulated security is introduced to the housing market as if there was no 2008 and 2009.”

Despite these discussions, the Hud has denied any official plans to introduce blockchain or cryptocurrency payments. The spokeswoman Kasey Lovett rejected speculation and explained:

“The department has no plans for blockchain or stablecoin. Education is not an implementation. “

The role of EY and the crypto affinity of the Trump administration

This initiative focuses on Irving Dennis, the newly appointed deputy chief of the HUD and former manager of Ernst & Young (EY). The global consulting company was involved in the talks. Ey leadership Robert Judson confirmed that talks have taken place. Judson said:

“As a company, we have had discussions with selected people in this authority.”

The Trump administration has proven to be particularly crypto-friendly because the president himself has significant financial connections to digital assets. His government not only relaxed the control of crypto companies, but also set up a strategic Bitcoin reserve after the opening of the reserve, Bitcoin’s value crashed by $ 5,000 in just one hour.

The HUD blockchain initiative signals another way in which the government could integrate cryptocurrency into government work. The Trump consultant Elon Musk has already indicated that blockchain could be used to monitor federal expenditure, which heats out speculation about wider plans for integrating the technology into public finances.

Stable coin experiment sparked controversy

One of the more controversial proposals that are currently being examined is the possible use of stablecoins-a form of digital currency that is linked to an external asset such as the US dollar-to pay HUD subsidies. Critics fear that even stable coins are exposed to fluctuations and refer to one incidentFrom 2023 in which a large stable coin briefly lost 13 % of its value.

Former SEC official Corey Frayer condemned the idea and called her “a terrible idea” that he warned that the inclusion of stable coins in the $ 1.3 trillion could have far-reaching consequences.

While some Hud officials were skeptical, other possible advantages saw. A finance officer suggested that the blockchain initiative beyond housing development could be extended to programs such as the review of the right to claim for tenants for state-funded apartments.

“We consider this for the entire company.”

• The Canadian stock market supervision warns of a new cryptoc fraud stitch, in which the fraudsters specify to be supported by government officials.
• The fraudsters produce with the help of AI fake news to manipulate the fears of investors, although they constantly change topics and websites.

The securities supervisory authorities of the Canadian provinces Alberta and New Brunswick warned recently the public before Cancap, a new kind of crypto fraud. The perpetrators pretend to be supported by government representatives and use people’s fear of a trade war.

The Alberta securities supervisory authority has also revealed that Cancap fought a recommendation from the former Prime Minister of Canada. The fraud was an article with a text that was similar to a news article that could come from Canada’s State Broadcasting Institute (CBC). In this article it was later claimed that Trudeau supported a crypto -based investment program in response to the tariffs of the United States.

Likewise, the Financial and Consumer Services Commission of New Brunswick found that Cancap misleaded the public and was associated with Prime Minister Susan Holt. He revealed that the fraudsters had developed a fake Telegraph Journal article and an interview in which Holt advocated the plan. Other pictures were also shown to give the fake to the fake reports an authentic appearance.

The fear of the trade war lets the fraud escalated

Officials also reported that criminals are now using artificial intelligence to create fake fears and generate fake content. This makes it difficult to combat fraudsters because they often change both the name and the website address. Cancap has used other names such as Cantera and Immediate Flectinium to operate over several domains.

The current worldwide instability causes various fraudsters to actively contact people who are affected by economic instability. The US tariffs introduced in February have had an impact on finances and opened new opportunities for all types of snowball systems that attract people who are looking for opportunities to save money.

The authorities emphasize the need to examine and understand investment offers which signals you have to pay attention to, namely on offers that you receive without prior contact, and on guarantees for high income at low risk.

Crypto fraud on the advance

The blockchain analysis company Chainalysis recently found that in 2024 $ 9.9 billion were sent to these crypto wallets associated with the fraud. The company estimated the value of $ 12.4 billion and believes that the number will increase if more fraud is uncovered.

The report also reports on the increase in frauds with love relationships that are known locally as “pork slaughter”, and a fraudster takes contact with the victim about social media or a dating app and encourages to invest in fake cryptocurrencies.

The use of artificial intelligence has also increased regularly in crypto frauds. Similarly, the data from Chainalysis showed that some AI service providers like Houione were able to increase their sales by 1900 % in the year.

According to the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), crypto fraud and social media fraud are among the numerous risks that small investors will be exposed to in 2025. As part of the survey, state and provincial supervisory authorities stated in both the USA and Canada that fraudsters use AI and crypto to increase the effectiveness of fraud. Leslie van Buskirk, President of Nasaa, said that Fraudsters take advantage of the fear, to miss something (FOMO), which makes investors invest without informing themselves.

• Strategy’s share has fallen by 40% and thus reflects Bitcoin’s battles, while the fears of investors increase the evaluation and the drains from the ETFs.
• The increase in Bitcoin lost momentum after the careful view of the US Federal Reserve, which led to massive ETF drains and new sales pressure.

Microstrategy, now renamed Strategy, was one of the strongest supporters of Bitcoin, but now doubts about the investment strategy are being loud. The company’s stock (MSTR) has fallen by 40 % since its high and reflects Bitcoin’s fight to keep over $ 90,000. The decline for investors, who once saw MSTR as a foreign bet on Bitcoin’s success, triggered concern.

Despite the strong decline, the Strategy share is still traded 60 % above its fair value, even if this gap is slowly reducing. Investors begin to ask whether the premium is justified, especially since Bitcoin experiences headwind through the uncertainty of the US Federal Reserve and the increasing ETF drains. The fear of overvaluation begins to burden the market mood.

In November 2024, when the Bitcoin briefly exceeded the $ 95,000 mark, the MSTR trading volume was an incredible $ 40 billion. However, the analysts of 10x Research suspect that institutional actors used this rally to get out and sold to small investors at high prices. Now many small investors are faced with losses, although Bitcoin stays near his level from the end of 2024.

Bitcoins 96% increase must face the reality check

Bitcoin rose by 96%between September and December 2024 because the dealers expected interest reductions through the Federal Reserve. But when the expected interest in December finally arrived in December, she came with a cautious view that signaled that future lowering could not come so easily. This dampened the enthusiasm on the cryptom market and led to Bitcoin going through a longer consolidation phase.

In addition to uncertainty, February 2025 has proven to be a brutal month for Bitcoin ETFs. The drains are skyrocketed and investors have deducted $ 1.3 billion – the worst monthly deduction in history. The sharp change in ETF demand intensifies Bitcoin’s struggle to keep itself over important price levels.

A large part of the ETF-driven demand was heated by Hedge Fund that use short-term arbitrage strategies. Now that the financing rates are falling, these businesses are undone, which triggers a new wave of sales pressure. The wider cryptom market feels the heat and the strategy share is no exception.

Microstrategy rating under pressure

Despite the criticism, Strategy has retained an aggressive BTC buying wave and has acquired Bitcoin worth $ 6 billion since December. However, 10x Research indicates a trendy trend: The Strategy share loses rapidly to surcharge compared to its net inventory value (NAV), an important indicator of the trust of investors.

At the top, the surcharge of the net inventory value (NAV) from Strategy was 3.4 times, but since then it has only dropped to 1.6 times, which means a fair value of $ 156 per share. This is in blatant contrast to the MSTR maximum in November 2024 at $ 453 per share when Bitcoin was traded at a similar level. Today MSTR has dropped to $ 287, which reflects the dwindling serve, which once fueled the increase of the stock.

In addition, the technical concerns are that Bitcoin has fallen under an ascending, spreading stretcher, a bearish signal that could push the prices down. If Bitcoin is not able to recapture the lost swing, analysts warn that it could test the average Bitcoin purchase price of $ 66,300-a scenario that could mean further problems for MSTR.

• The cryptoanalyst Davinci Jeremie sees potential in Shiba Inu, but emphasizes that the lack of acceptance of Shibarium hinders its growth.
• Shiba Inu’s incineration rate has increased by 3253 %, which reduces the offer, but price recovery depends on the real applications of Shibarium.

The cryptoanalyst and educator DaVinci Jeremie has commented on Shiba Inu’s potential and offers an optimistic view of the course of the token. While Shib is stuck in a bearish pattern, he believes that it could still rise – but only if a critical problem is solved.

Shiba Inu to the Moon!! 2025

Shiba Inu has huge potential, but Shibarium could be the key to its future. pic.twitter.com/YgMD84a3I5

– Davinci Jeremie (@davinnij15) March 7, 2025

Shiba Inu has recently been exposed to considerable turbulence and crashed to $ 0.00001286. The token has dropped by 4.36 % in the last 24 hours, this week by 7.77 % and even 19.66 % in the last 30 days. The token is about 25 % below its high from mid -February $ 0.00001712 and 60 % below its high from the beginning of December at $ 0.00003293.

Despite this dark background, Jeremie remains hopeful and says that Shib could have a strong cycle in front of it. However, he dampens the expectations and explains:

“I like Shiba Inu, as you know, and I think that Shiba Inu will do relatively well in this cycle, but it may not be as high as you expect.”

Critical hurdle

Jeremie emphasizes the introduction of Shibarium, the L2 solution of Shiba Inu, as a turning point. Shibarium was developed to offer inexpensive transactions and support a variety of applications, which makes SHIB more functional. The problem? Jeremie says:

“Nobody uses it and there are still no applications for using their tokens on Shibarium.”

This is a big hurdle. If developers can introduce real applications that use Shibarium and Shib for transactions, the crypto expert believes that the token could experience a significant increase in price:

“If you can solve this, Shiba Inu will go through the ceiling.”

In response to this, the Shiba Inu team took steps to expand the use of Shibarium. A partnership with Chainlink was secured and integrated its cross-chain Interoperability Protocol CCIP. This step improves accessibility for Shib, bone, lash and treat tokens.

Shiba Inu Burn Rate shoots 3253%

Die Latest data From Shibburn, who heat speculations about an upcoming rally, show an astonishing increase in the Shib burning rate by 3253 % in the last 24 hours. This resulted in 29.32 million tokens being permanently pulled out of circulation and the overall offer shrank.

The combustion process plays a crucial role in the tokenomics of Shiba Inu. The offer is reduced by reducing the number of tokens in circulation, creating the conditions for a potential price increase when demand increases. Market observers have pointed out that the overall offer of Shiba Inu has now dropped to 584.34 trillion coins, although astonishing 410.74 trillion has been burned to date.

In March alone, around 76 million Shib tokens were pulled out of circulation by the end of the first week. If this aggressive burn trend continues, the optimism of the investors could increase and possibly trigger the next major price increase.

While the fundamental data improves, the question remains whether the price of Shib will react to it? The introduction of Shibarium is still lagging behind, so that a key component for an outbreak is missing. The team’s efforts, including partnerships and decentralized application development, could lead to a change.

• The stock exchange in Singapore wants to introduce Bitcoin futures in the second half of the year, exclusively for institutional investors.
• Singapore is a leader in blockchain innovation with over 1,600 patents and 81 crypto exchanges.

In the second half of 2025 the Singapore SGX is ready To introduce a Bitcoin mink control in the long run. This step not only shows that traditional stock exchanges begin to adequately support the rapidly expanding market for digital assets, but it is also the beginning of a business strategy.

Perpetual Futures – Game Changer for Institutional Investors

Perpetual futures are derivative instruments that enable dealers to speculate on Bitcoin course movements without having to own the actual asset. In contrast to standard futures contracts, these instruments have no expiry date, so retailers can keep their positions as long as they want as long as they have enough margin and capital.

The SGX seems to see great potential here. For private and institutional dealers, crypto bonds such as Binance and Okex have long rely on this product as an income source.

However, the SGX pursues a more conservative approach by opening access only for professional and institutional investors. This means that small investors will not be able to participate in the trade with this instrument in the SGX.

Singapore established blockchain scene paves the way to the SGX

In view of the blockchain and crypto ecosystem in Singapore, the SGX’s decision was not unexpected. With over 1,600 blockchain patents and 81 running crypto bonds in December 2024, Singapore was worldwide according to CNF.

In addition, more than 2,400 jobs in Singapore are connected to blockchain technology today, which promotes a branch of the finance industry, which supports the expansion of the sector in several areas. Under these circumstances, the SGX endeavors to take on a leading role among traditional stock exchanges that begin to deal with digital assets.

Regulation and security have a priority

But despite this optimism, the Singapore government is careful. The increasing fraud in connection with crypto forcing the authorities into a stricter control. A minister from Singapore recently informed the population about the dangers of investments in digital assets.

The law on protection against fraud has been passed that enables the authorities to stop transactions in which there is a suspicion that they have a criminal background.

With this step, the harmony between control and creativity is made. On the one hand, the government wants to make the sector bloom, on the other hand, it wants to protect investors from risks.

Rivalry with Hong Kong

The procedure of the SGX meets ever greater rivalry with Hong Kong. According to the recent reports, both Singapore and Hong Kong are at the forefront of initiatives of Asian governments that want to make their areas into main envelopes for the crypto industry. Their success is inextricably linked to the worldwide growth of the crypto sector, especially after the support of the industry by US President Trump.

But the two Asian metropolises have different approaches. Singapore focuses on strict regulations and monitoring of crypto exchanges and investment products. Hong Kong, on the other hand, is more open to crypto -friendly policy and allows more projects and innovations that can develop freely there.

• Mike McGlone from Bloomberg says that Bitcoin can continue to fall to $ 70,000, with the Bitcoin gold ratio of 28x to fall to 21x.
• The institutional interest in BTC has subsided because traditionally safe systems such as US state bonds offer higher returns.

---

The latest decline in the BitcoIN course has accelerated because market uncertainty, fear of inflation and a changed investigation increase the pressure. According to Mike McGlone, Senior Commodity Strategist at Bloomberg, the BTC course in the middle of economic uncertainty and a possible turning turn could fall to $ 70,000 at the recent increase in the US stock market.

Bitcoin price confronted with new fear

The cryptoma market is in another wave of increased concern because the bitcoin course does not gain drive. Despite the positive reactions to the latest government measures, as the proposed strategic BTC reserve in the United States, the mood of investors is still unsure.

The Bitcoin gold ratio, which indicates how much gold is required to buy a BTC, is 28: 1. However, McGlone believes that the below -average performance of Bitcoin against gold can reduce this ratio to 21: 1 in the coming months.

The Bitcoin course died today at a daily low of $ 80,052.49. This is a dramatic decline compared to the maximum of $ 95,000 last week, which reinforces the bad mood in the market.

The well-known BTC skeptic Peter Schiff has the latest downturn commented And said that a correction was long overdue. According to ship, BTC’s decline could still last for some time, possibly until the end of the decade.

Macroeconomic indicators still have a major impact on the course development of Bitcoin. The US working market data published on Friday-without agriculture-pointed out rising unemployment, which further increased the fear of inflation of investors. The publication has increased the fears that the economy would be a tougher time, and subsequently led to a change in the capital distribution strategies.

President Trump’s initial euphoria about the announcement of a strategic bitcoin reserve has subsided-CNF reported. The market participants re -rate the potential effects of such a policy in the light of general economic uncertainties.

Institutional investors are careful

Institutional investors have avoided large Bitcoin purchases, since the political decision-makers are still disagreed with the space of cryptocurrency in the financial system. A recently held summit of the White House for digital assets did not provide a clear direction, and the investors continued to hold back, as CNF reported.

As the economic concerns, there was an increasing movement towards traditional safe systems. The 10-year-old US state bond return has increased to 4.3 %, a level that was last reached in November 2023, while the return on 10-year-old German federal bonds rose to 2.45 %. The returns of Japanese government bonds have also risen to 0.88 %, a level that was last recorded in 2013.

These rising returns make bonds more attractive for institutional investors, which leads to capital flows away from risk systems such as BTC. Small investors, on the other hand, adapt their portfolios to cope with the increasing living costs due to the tariff -related price increases.

While the sales pressure is high, the Bitcoin miners continue to hold large amounts of stocks. According to reports, mining companies have deposited around $ 900 million in Bitcoin in their coffers, which indicates that long-term trust in the asset has not been broken despite the break-in.

• Despite the decline of XRP by 7.5%, analysts predict a potential outbreak and refer to whale activities and historical patterns that indicate double -digit prices.
• Optimism for an XRP ETF approval is growing, the chances are almost 80%, which could boost institutional investments and price dynamics.

---

The XRP from Ripple was difficult to keep above water in the middle of a general market decline after the crypto summit of the White House. Despite a decline of $ 7.50 % today, analysts remain optimistic and make comparisons to the historical increase in 2017-2018, in which XRP rose by 718 %. If that repeated itself, the course could become one of the two digits, which would inspire investors.

The cryptoma market is volatile – but the optimism is not – it is constant. Experts have pointed out the whale activity and technical patterns as indicators of a possible outbreak. Youngest Report Show that large investors have switched XRP worth $ 5.37 billion, which is a sign that important players become active. However, it remains a secret whether you buy or sell.

XRP Course targets: $ 9.7, $ 9.50, $ 2.70 – outlet could trigger an increase

Egrag Crypto, a well -known analyst, has ambitious goals called for XRP. The first, at $ 9.7, is based on a historic triangular outbreak pattern. He advises dealers to take profits with 8, 9 and $ 10 instead of waiting for the perfect maximum. The more optimistic forecast of $ 27 results from the application of the 718%profit from the XRP rally from 2017 to a local high from $ 3.4.

While a jump to $ 27 seems to be far-fetched, the forecast signals trust in the ability of XRP to recover. Other analysts have also referred to the symmetrical triangle pattern of XRP, which in the event of an outbreak is expected to increase a price increase of 23 %. Ali Martinez recently found that XRP could be in the initial phase of Welle 3, a technical pattern that indicates an increase to $ 9.50.

Casitrades emphasized that XRP tests a critical resistance value at $ 2.54, which increases the bullish mood. A successful outbreak could drive the course towards $ 2.70 and $ 3.05, which underpins the idea that higher price targets remain within reach.

XRP ETF registration rates close to 80%

The legal disputes of XRP have played a crucial role in the design of the market mood. The ongoing legal dispute between Ripple and the SEC kept investors in suspense, but optimism grows that the case could soon be solved. The SEC recently hired procedures against Coinbase, Uniswap and Gemini, which stirs up speculation that Ripple will not be different.

Another factor that plays a role is the possible introduction of an exchange-traded XRP fund (ETF). According to Polymarket, the chances of approval have increased to almost 80%. In the event of approval, an ETF could bring institutional investments in XRP, which could accelerate the price dynamics.

However, not all analysts are convinced. Willy Woo, a prominent voice in the crypto area, has itself Against the idea pronouncedthat XRP will be a strategic reserve asset. He says:

“No other country would buy an XRP controlled by the USA”.

• It is predicted that Avalanche (Avax) will continue its downward trend if the bulls are unable to take control and to force a recovery from the current position.
• Several on-chain indicators indicate that the asset is in a downward trend, with 80 % of the AVAX owners a loss.

---

Avalanche (Avax) fell under an important support brand at $ 19, as it records negative returns in all remarkable trading periods. The value has fallen by 5 % in the last 24 hours and is noted at $ 18.79. Fascinating, the weekly loss has expanded to 19 %, the monthly loss to 22 %and the 90-day loss to 60 %.

In the critical analysis of the assets, the analysts found that Avax forms a symmetrical triangle pattern in which both buyers and sellers seem to be undecided on the market. In the meantime, a possible breakthrough via the upper limitation of the triangle could lead to a short -term price recovery. However, if it is not possible to stay above the current level, Avax could experience a deeper correction and find support at the lower point of the price curve.

When examining the on-chain activities of the financial value, we found that Avax appears rather bearish than interest bullies, since network growth decreases by 0.67 %. In addition, the “in the money” metric falls by 0.79 %. Technically speaking, this means that only a few investors are in winning.

When examining other key figures, we found that the concentration indicator sits at -0.19 %. After the interpretation of our analysts, this means that the distribution of the token has hardly changed. In the meantime, the WAL activities have also decreased significantly. The data show that large transactions have decreased by 1.87 %.

The Avax Onchain activities

A look at the in/out-of-the-money diagram shows that 80.09 % of the addresses that hold AVAX records a loss, which confirms the declining market situation. When the value was still noted at $ 19, only 5.98 % of the addresses were in profit. According to analysts, the recent decline under $ 19 indicates that many investors could be tried to sell to reduce their losses.

Avax’s weak performance can be attributed to the last quarter of 2024 after the value recorded a significant increase. In December the value crashed and lost all profits achieved in November.

As of February 21st, the value of 31 % has been in the minus over the course of the year, while its market capitalization was $ 10.56 billion. According to our market data, AVAX has decreased further during this period, since market capitalization is currently $ 7.48 billion, while profits have decreased by 51 % since the beginning of the year. In the meantime, an analyst identified as a kaleo predicted on November 11 that the value would reach $ 50 in the following two days.

However, the disappointing development of avalanches did not prevent the enthusiasts from remaining optimistic. Avalanche recently became the third-fashion-named RWA token in social media, just behind Chainlink (link) and Hedera (Hbar). According to the data, AVAX was mentioned 7420 times.

Avalanche was also mentioned as the next cryptocurrency that could benefit from the US crypto strategy, apart from BTC, ETH, XRP, ADA and Sol. As CNF reported, it was said that the asset was one of the few tokens that were produced in the United States, has an ETF application and belonged to the projects whose representatives took part in a meeting in the White House. Previously, he was one of the few RWA assets with the greatest social commitment in February-CNF reported.

• Ripple may be able to pay his $ 125 million fine to a federal address by transferring XRP.
• This would legitimize cryptocurrency within the US financial framework for the first time.

---

The infinite story wipe SEC and Ripple continues. A new proposal was conjured up from the hat: the settlement of the – but not legally binding – fines of $ 125 million against Ripple in XRP instead of Indes.

As CNF reported, the SEC had discussed comparison options in February. From a legal point of view, it remains uncertain whether the United States can accept $ 125 million in XRP overnight. Ra Jeremy Hogan’s proposal triggered discussions about the feasibility and the effects of such a regulation.

View of a legal expert

Jeremy Hogan, a prominent lawyer in the XRP community, recently suggested that Ripple transferred the equivalent of the dollars in XRP to a federal address if the judgment was legally. He referred to historical precedents that go back to the time of the civil war, were paid to the fines other than the dollar as convicted fines. Hogan’s findings have re -sparked the debates about the flexibility of billing methods in modern regulatory contexts.

Reactions

There were numerous reactions to Hogan’s proposal in the crypto community. Some see the option as a step towards the integration of digital assets in common financial systems, while other skepticism expresses with regard to regulatory acceptance.

As can be read in the tweet of a community member, said Hogan:

“It is possible that Ripple could satisfy the verdict against himself by transferring the same amount of XRP to a Federal XRP” Stockpile “address.

The idea of ​​a “Federal XRP Stockpile” has also appeared and has triggered discussions about how government agencies could manage and use such digital assets.

Implications

If Ripple pays his punishment with XRP, this could create a precedent for future official comparisons. This could confirm the benefits of cryptocurrencies in official functions and influence how other blockchain companies deal with legal challenges.

For the US government, the acceptance of XRP could require the creation of a framework for possession and the possible liquidation of digital assets, which would signal a change towards a developing financial landscape.

The court has requested an answer by April 16, and speculation about a possible comparison. The possibility that Ripple pays the $ 125 million punishment in XRP makes the procedure even more complex.

In the meantime, a CNF report indicates that an XRP reserve in the USA could increase the value to $ 15. The legal dispute between Ripple and the SEC is now approaching a critical point. At the time of the creation of this article, XRP is traded at $ 2.20, which reflects a decline of 1.13 % in the last day and a decrease of 17.02 % in the last week.

• The Spanish Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Has started a crypto trade.
• Customers can act and manage Bitcoin and Ethereum via the bank’s own app.

The Spanish Bank BBVA has from the Spanish securities supervisory authority Green light Get to their customers’ trade with Bitcoin and Ether. This will help the bank consolidate its presence on the market for digital assets and to promote the trend of increasing use of cryptocurrencies in Europe.

The service will be introduced in the coming months and will enable customers to invest and transfer them with them via the bank’s app in Bitcoin and Ether. The app is initially introduced as a pilot project for a selected group of customers and then extended to all Spanish private banking customers.

The BBVA works in Switzerland and Turkey and offers crypto trade and custody. The expansion to Spain is an important step in the course of the complete implementation of the regulation on markets for crypto-assets (mica) throughout the European Union.

BBVA will use cryptographically sealed customer stocks, which distinguishes them from other actors who outsource their storage. As a result, safety concerns are cleared up and the functionality of the software for the end user improves.

Although the platform is designed in such a way that it is easily accessible, it is noteworthy that BBVA will not offer any advice for investments in digital assets. Customers have full responsibility for their business and their personal financial decisions regarding cryptocurrencies.

The head of retail banking for Spain, Gonzalo Rodríguez, said that BBVA is interested in making investments in cryptocurrencies as easy as the use of its current mobile banking applications. He said that the customer is provided with a safe and solid financial organization of a bank.

Spain joins the BBVA crypto expansion

The current BBVA initiative in crypto finances took several years in order to receive the necessary approval. First, the bank entered Switzerland because it finds a favorable regulatory environment there, which is made possible by the financial market supervision (FINMA). In January, she expanded her offer in Turkey with a local branch in the Türkiye.

This new step took place in the course of the increasing introduction of cryptocurrency services by European banking organizations. Deutsche Bank is working on an Ethereum Rollup called ZKSync and offers crypto custody as part of a partnership with the Taurus Group. The Bank Société Générale, based in Paris, has announced the introduction of a euro stable on the XRP Ledger called SG-Forge.

With this new function, BBVA customers can carry out crypto operations and banking transactions directly through mobile use in Spain. Rodríguez confirmed BBVA’s interest in supporting its customers in navigation in the new world of digital assets. By using its banking experience, BBVA wants to offer investors a simple and safe way to invest in crypto systems.

A survey by the European Central Bank showed that 9 % of Spaniards have digital assets, more than twice as much as in 2022. However, Spain has risen to the level of France and Croatia, where 10 % of the population have cryptocurrencies, while Slovenia and Greece are 15 % or 14 % at the top.
