French banking giant BPCE to launch in-app crypto trading

French banking firm BPCE has announced plans to launch crypto trading for millions of its retail customers. According to reports, the banking group will allow users to buy and sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana directly inside its Banque Populaire and Caisse d’Épargne mobile application starting on Monday.

The development from BPCE means it is one of the first major traditional European banks to offer digital assets to its customers.

The initial rollout is expected to cover BPCE clients of four regional banks, including Banque Populaire Île-de-France and Caisse d’Épargne Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, reaching about two million customers. BPCE plans to gradually extend the service in the coming year, expanding it to reach its remaining 25 regional entities in 2026.

BPCE set to launch in-app crypto trading services

According to the report, the motive of BPCE is to enable crypto trading for its full 12 million customers. A bank source mentioned to The Big Whale that the phased approach is intended by the bank to monitor how the service performs at launch before scaling.

Crypto sales and purchases would be handled through a dedicated digital asset account within the banking apps. According to the report, it is expected to be managed by Hexard, a crypto subsidiary of BPCE.

Users willing to sign up for an account must note that it carries a $3.48 monthly fee and 1.5% commission per trade, with a minimum of $1.16.

In addition, the platform will be accessible to users without the need for an external exchange or third-party wallets. The development comes as competition continues to intensify across Europe between traditional banks and crypto-friendly fintechs like Revolut, deBlock, Trade Republic, and Bitstack, all of which currently offer access to crypto.

Several European firms have also taken the same steps, with BBVA allowing its Spanish client base to buy, sell, and hold Bitcoin and Ethereum directly within its applications. According to the firm, the custody is handled in-house and not outsourced to third parties.

The firm noted that the integration was necessary because it wanted its users with existing BBVA accounts to be able to move funds easily on their mobile application, which supports only trading and storage services.

Financial institutions move to integrate crypto

Aside from BBVA, Santander’s digital arm Openbank also offers trading and custody for five digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Polygon, and Cardano. Santander claimed that the service, which was rolled out for German clients, would integrate crypto alongside the usual investment products offered by Openbank, removing the need for third-party platforms while operating under the European Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework.

In addition, Raiffeisen Bank’s Vienna-based unit also partnered with Bitpanda to bring crypto services to its clients. “We have seen the demand from customers for easy, intuitive, digital investment platforms. Our main intention to take customer-centric decisions has triggered these efforts, which we are excited about bringing to market,” a spokesperson for the bank said at the time.

Meanwhile, France has moved forward with its decision to tax crypto as unproductive wealth. Last month, lawmakers in the country approved an amendment that would update the country’s wealth tax to cover unproductive assets, including certain real estate, luxury items, and digital assets like crypto.

Under the amendment, users holding more than $2.3 million in unproductive wealth will face a 1% tax, a shift from the present progressive real estate wealth tax.

Speaking about the amendment, Eric Larchevêque, co–founder of crypto wallet Ledger, noted that the amendment punishes all savers who wish to financially anchor themselves to Bitcoin or gold in order to secure their financial future.

He added that crypto holders may be asked to sell their assets to pay tax if there are no other liquid assets. However, the proposal is not set in stone as it needs to pass as part of the 2026 budget process before becoming law.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.
