BPCE to Launch Cryptocurrency Investment Services by 2025
Banque Populaire Caisse d’Epargne (BPCE), one of France’s leading banking groups, is preparing to offer cryptocurrency investment services through its subsidiary, Hexarq, starting in early 2025.
This initiative follows BPCE’s approval from Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), the French financial regulator. Hexarq recently secured a Virtual Asset Service Provider (PSAN) license, allowing BPCE to legally operate in the digital asset market.
The move reflects BPCE’s strategy to stay competitive in an increasingly digitized financial landscape. It also supports France’s ambition to lead the European Union in establishing crypto regulations and fostering innovation in the digital economy.
