KBC Group (Euronext Brussels: KBC) will begin offering crypto trading services on February 16, 2026. The second largest bank in Belgium, which has more than $300 billion in assets under management (AUM), is the first bank in the country to offer regulated crypto trading services.

KBC Bank to Offer Crypto Trading Services Via Bolero Platform 

Earlier on Thursday, January 15, KBC Banks announced that it will begin to offer crypto trading services the week of February 16. The bank stated that it will offer crypto trading services to its 4 million users through its Bolero Investment platform.

As such, the bank will become the first to offer such services in Belgium under the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation. 

“By offering the opportunity to purchase and sell crypto within a regulated framework, we are making innovation concrete and accessible. At the same time, we are demonstrating that KBC remains ready to assume its role as an innovator in a market where new players are rapidly evolving,” Erik Luts, Chief Innovation Officer at KBC Group, stated.

A Rising Trend? What’s Next?

The enactment of the MiCA rules across Europe has catalyzed the mainstream adoption of digital assets by both retail and institutional investors. Earlier this month, DZ Bank, the second-largest bank in Germany with more than €660 billion in assets under management (AUM), began to offer crypto trading services under the MiCA regulations.
The bank stated that BaFin authorized its crypto trading platform meinKrypto to offer trading services across Europe for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), and Litecoin (LTC). The rising adoption of Bitcoin by financial institutions across Europe will play a crucial role in providing liquidity amid an anticipated parabolic bull rally in 2026.

DOGE ETF Hype Fades as Whales Sell and Traders Await Decline

The post DOGE ETF Hype Fades as Whales Sell and Traders Await Decline appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Leading meme coin Dogecoin (DOGE) has struggled to gain momentum despite excitement surrounding the anticipated launch of a US-listed Dogecoin ETF this week. On-chain data reveals a decline in whale participation and a general uptick in coin selloffs across exchanges, hinting at the possibility of a deeper price pullback in the coming days. Sponsored Sponsored DOGE Faces Decline as Whales Hold Back, Traders Sell The market is anticipating the launch of Rex-Osprey’s Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) tomorrow, which is expected to give traditional investors direct exposure to Dogecoin’s price movements.  However, DOGE’s price performance has remained muted ahead of the milestone, signaling a lack of enthusiasm from traders. According to on-chain analytics platform Nansen, whale accumulation has slowed notably over the past week.
