Belgium's KBC Bank is stepping into the crypto space. The institution will introduce Bitcoin and Ethereum trading capabilities through its Bolero investment platform starting February 2026. This move opens crypto access to retail clients and signals growing institutional adoption of digital assets. Bolero's integration marks another milestone in bridging traditional banking infrastructure with cryptocurrency trading infrastructure, expanding where everyday investors can engage with major crypto assets.

Another traditional bank has entered the market. It seems that institutional recognition is really increasing, but it will be a bit slow until February next year when trading begins.

Another traditional bank enters the scene, KBC's move is quite good... But we still have to wait until Feb 2026, by then the price will probably have skyrocketed haha

KBC made a good move here; by February next year, you’ll be able to trade BTC and ETH directly on Bolero... Traditional banks can finally no longer hold back, and retail investors can now enter the market legitimately.

Another traditional bank is starting to shake things up. Whether Belgium's KBC will truly provide retail investors with good trading opportunities remains to be seen...

KBC's move this time is really awesome; traditional banks finally can't sit still anymore. But we still have to wait until February 2026, which is so long. I bet five dollars it will be postponed again by then, haha.

NGL, traditional banks are finally taking it seriously. KBC is really getting into Bitcoin and Ethereum trading... Next February, right? At that time, a bunch of small retail investors will probably rush in to dump their holdings.

KBC, this move is impressive. Traditional big banks are also starting to compete. See you in 2026.
