Stablecoins

Stablecoins are digital assets pegged to a stable reserve, such as the US Dollar or Gold, to minimize price volatility. Serving as the primary medium of exchange in Web3, tokens like USDT, USDC, and PYUSD facilitate global payments and DeFi liquidity. In 2026, the focus has shifted toward yield-bearing stablecoins and compliant stablecoin frameworks under global regulations like MiCA. This tag covers the intersection of traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto through stable on-chain liquidity solutions.

Spanish Banking Giant BBVA Expands Crypto Offerings with Bitcoin and Ethereum Services

Spanish Banking Giant BBVA Expands Crypto Offerings with Bitcoin and Ethereum Services

Spain’s second-largest financial institution, BBVA, has introduced Bitcoin and Ethereum trading and custody capabilities for retail customers, marking a significant expansion of regulated digital asset services across Europe . BBVA has fully integrated these cryptocurrency services within its proprietary mobile platform, operating independently without relying on external service providers or third-party custodial solutions. 🚨 Breaking: Spain's major bank BBVA has rolled out trading and custody services for $BTC and $ETH directly in its mobile app for retail customers. Get ready for a surge of capital into the crypto market! pic.twitter.com/ccXoPsWOCf — Crypto Jessica (@CryptoJessXBT) July 7, 2025 The bank’s approach allows customers to execute transactions autonomously while maintaining that it does not offer investment advisory services. BBVA’s 4-Year Crypto Journey Reaches Spain According to an official release dated July 4, the cryptocurrency service launch stems from regulatory approval obtained through Spain’s National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) in March 2025. 🇪🇸 Spanish lending giant BBVA said it won approval to launch Bitcoin and Ether trading, integrating crypto into everyday banking. #BBVA #CryptoTrading https://t.co/ifB7FxuUV8 — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) March 10, 2025 This licensing framework authorizes BBVA to provide cryptocurrency services to all customers who meet legal age requirements. “ Our objective is to simplify cryptocurrency investment for retail customers in Spain through an accessible and user-friendly digital platform available on their mobile devices ,” stated Gonzalo Rodríguez, BBVA’s head of retail banking for Spain. The service architecture ensures compliance with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, which establishes comprehensive standards for cryptocurrency-related services across EU member states. BBVA’s Spanish cryptocurrency initiative builds upon the success of its Swiss operations. In June 2021, BBVA Switzerland pioneered the bank’s cryptocurrency offerings by introducing Bitcoin custody and trading services for private banking clientele Spain's BBVA, with $782 billion of total assets, is launching a #bitcoin trading service for private clients in Switzerland, due to "significant desire" among investors. — Documenting ₿itcoin 📄 (@DocumentingBTC) June 18, 2021 The Swiss division has since diversified its cryptocurrency portfolio to encompass Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and AVAX, successfully attracting both institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals. Recent reports from June 18 indicate that BBVA has been recommending portfolio allocations of 3% to 7% in cryptocurrencies for its affluent clients. Philippe Meyer, head of digital and blockchain solutions at BBVA Switzerland, indicated that the bank currently advises clients to focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum investments , with plans to introduce additional cryptocurrencies later this year. “ A 3% portfolio allocation to cryptocurrency represents manageable risk exposure ,” Meyer explained. “ In a balanced portfolio structure, introducing 3% cryptocurrency allocation can enhance overall performance. “ Expanding Stablecoin Services See 9% of Spaniards Own Crypto, While 95% of EU Banks Stay Away Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, BBVA has incorporated USDC stablecoin services into its offerings. In September 2024, the bank extended its cryptocurrency custody and trading capabilities to include USD Coin for institutional and private banking clients in Switzerland. This expansion enables clients to trade, hold, or convert USDC into euros, dollars, or other currencies with near-instantaneous execution. The bank noted that investment fund managers and large corporations frequently utilize stablecoins like USDC to accelerate transactions across various cryptocurrency exchanges. Additionally, stablecoins serve as a hedge against cryptocurrency volatility by allowing investors to preserve asset value during market fluctuations. Despite approximately 95% of EU banks avoiding cryptocurrency services due to the European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) cautious regulatory stance, Spain’s cryptocurrency market has demonstrated substantial growth. Europe's crypto regulation will be its biggest mistake since the dotcom era: – EU imposing MiCA – US embracing crypto – Major players leaving EU – $499B+ in crypto flowing through Eastern Europe Is crypto's future in Europe doomed? Here's the full breakdown: pic.twitter.com/mZIi79cru3 — Alessandro Palombo (@thealepalombo) December 16, 2024 A 2024 European Central Bank survey, published in January 2025, revealed that nearly 9% of Spanish citizens now hold digital assets , representing more than double the figure from 2022. Spain’s cryptocurrency adoption rate now equals that of France and Croatia within the Eurozone, though it remains below Slovenia’s 15% adoption rate and Greece’s 14% ownership levels. Between 2023 and 2024 alone, Spain received over $80 billion worth of cryptocurrency, making it the 5th largest European country with the most crypto value received.

The Spanish cryptocurrency taxation follows specific guidelines established by the Spanish State Agency for Tax Administration (AEAT). Spanish residents are required to declare gains from cryptocurrency transactions and income generated from digital asset holdings or related activities.
