European Banking Giants BBVA and Banca Sella Embrace Crypto: BBVA Advises Up to 7% BTC & ETH Portfolio Allocation
According to @rovercrc, major European banks are deepening their involvement in the cryptocurrency market, signaling strong institutional interest. Spanish banking giant BBVA is now actively advising its wealth clients to allocate between 3% and 7% of their portfolios to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), as stated by the bank's head of digital solutions, Philippe Meyer. BBVA plans to expand its crypto offerings later this year. Concurrently, Italian banking group Banca Sella is piloting stablecoin custody services with Fireblocks, potentially opening up digital asset services to its 1.4 million customers. These moves, spurred by clearer European regulations, represent significant validation for the crypto asset class and could drive increased liquidity and demand for BTC and ETH from traditional finance investors. |

Circle (USDC) Files for National Trust Bank Charter with OCC in Major Regulatory Push
According to @StockMKTNewz, Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has filed an application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish a national trust bank. This strategic move aims to bring Circle under direct federal oversight, similar to traditional financial institutions, and would allow it to operate across the U.S. without individual state licenses. If approved, the new entity, named First National Digital Currency Bank, N.A., would manage USDC reserves and offer regulated custody services to institutional clients. The application is seen as a proactive step to align with potential U.S. stablecoin legislation, such as the GENIUS Act. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire stated the goal is to strengthen USDC's infrastructure and support the development of market-neutral financial infrastructure. This follows similar charters granted to other crypto firms like Paxos and Anchorage. From a trading perspective, the news underscores the increasing regulatory integration of major stablecoins; currently, USDC maintains its peg with USDC/USDT trading at $0.9988 and USDC/USD at $1.00, while facilitating significant volume in pairs like BTC/USDC and ETH/USDC. |
