Hello dear readers and followers, the good news for the cryptocurrency market continues, and in addition to the rebound of the price action, new events appear that fill with optimism and strengthen the economic and financial structure of cryptocurrencies, this in relation to the clear opportunity for the traditional banking system to start providing services with Bitcoin.
The truth is that the Spanish banking giant Banco Santander will launch services with Bitcoin to its customers in Brazil, a decision that was announced by the president of the financial institution, Mario Leão, during a meeting of the Brazilian Federation of Banks.
With this good news, the traditional banking system continues to open its doors to the cryptocurrency market, specifically to the Bitcoin network protocol structure, and despite the adverse macroeconomic context affecting the crypto market, the Spanish banking giant Banco Santander based in Brazil is paving the way to offer services with digital assets.
According to the president of the financial entity, Mario Leão, they expect to have everything defined in the next few months, and even raised the possibility that it could be announced in the next publication of the bank's quarterly results.
In literal words Mario Leão said the following; "We recognize that it is a market that is here to stay", furthermore, he clarified that allowing the upcoming arrival of Bitcoin to the bank is not a response to similar measures that have been taken by competing financial institutions.
For those who do not know, in recent months the bet on Bitcoin by banks in Brazil has been gaining strength. Last May, Nubank, the largest digital bank in the South American nation, announced that it was going to sell BTC and ETH to its customers who will be able to acquire these cryptocurrencies with the Brazilian fiat currency.
Let's hope that these doors that the Spanish banking giant Banco Santander has opened in Brazil will echo throughout the rest of the countries in South America and the world.
