Belgium's second-largest bank has officially entered the cryptocurrency trading space. The institutional move marks a significant shift as traditional banking powerhouses increasingly recognize the growing demand for digital asset services. This development reflects the broader trend of mainstream financial institutions adopting crypto infrastructure to serve their customer base. The bank's entry into crypto trading could signal increased institutional confidence in the digital asset market and potentially open doors for more traditional banks to follow suit.

ngl, if you look at the data on institutional adoption cycles, this is actually just banks playing catch-up after retail already priced it in... they're like 3 years late to the party tbh. sustainable returns? more like sustainable PR moves lmao

Traditional banks have finally caught on; being late is better than not showing up at all.

Traditional banks have finally entered the scene, and now institutions should take us seriously. But on the other hand, how many retail investors will actually make money because of this...

Oh no, traditional banks have finally woken up and jumped on the bandwagon But this time it feels real, when big institutions start moving, it's no small matter Belgium has taken action... can other major European banks stay put? Mainstream financial institutions are jumping in one after another, what does that mean... the market isn't as虚 now Retail investors can be more assured this time, having big banks backing them up is definitely more reliable than wild guesses
