Santander Private Banking International, a division of Banco Santander, is expanding its cryptocurrency trading and investment services to high-net-worth clients with Swiss accounts. The bank initially offers trading facilities for Bitcoin and Ether, with plans to introduce more digital assets in the future. This move sets Santander apart from other large banks that typically focus on tokenization and avoid direct exposure to cryptocurrencies. The bank’s decision to extend its digital asset services beyond Switzerland is evident in its registration as a crypto custodian with the French regulator. This strategic move demonstrates Santander’s commitment to adopting modern technologies while adhering to regulatory standards. The increasing involvement of traditional financial institutions in digital asset trading reflects a growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies within mainstream financial services.
