CryptoWorld News reported that, according to CoinDesk, Belgium’s largest banking and insurance group, KBC, earlier this year enabled Bitcoin and Ethereum trading for retail investors through its self-service brokerage platform, Bolero. This move not only allows a major European bank to access digital assets, but more importantly, it demonstrates how this access is being introduced within existing regulated platforms. This model indicates that the future direction of the market is changing. With the implementation of MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation), banks are reassessing the status of digital assets, and more and more institutions are viewing them as capabilities equivalent to other financial products and services rather than as a separate category. It is expected that by 2030, the EU’s digital asset ownership rate will reach approximately 25%.
