KBC Bank to Launch Bitcoin and Ether Access for Retail Clients via Bolero
Belgium’s largest financial institution, KBC Bank, is set to expand its services by offering retail clients access to Bitcoin and Ether through its Bolero platform. The development comes as the bank aims to capitalize on growing interest in cryptocurrency among individual investors.
According to a recent announcement, the launch of the new service is contingent upon regulatory approval, which is expected in autumn 2025. Once approved, KBC Bank will allow clients to invest in Bitcoin and Ether under a regulated framework focused on security and education.
The bank’s move is significant as it would mark the first major Belgian financial institution to directly support cryptocurrency investments for retail users. Currently, most Belgians rely on foreign exchanges or investment apps to access cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether.
