Eight of Europe's top 20 banks now offer live crypto services, according to BlockStories data. This shift follows the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, which provided legal clarity, and the competitive pressure from fintech firms like Revolut and Trade Republic. Major banks such as Santander, BPCE, BBVA, and KBC have integrated crypto trading and custody into their retail apps, while Deutsche Bank and DZ Bank are expanding their crypto offerings. A consortium of 12 banks, including BNP Paribas, ING, and UniCredit, is developing a euro-backed stablecoin named Qivalis, set to launch in late 2026. This initiative aims to enhance cross-border settlement efficiency and assert European financial sovereignty. The move reflects a strategic pivot from resistance to active participation in the crypto space, driven by the need to maintain relevance in the evolving digital money landscape.
