The case of BPCE at the beginning of 2025
“`
BoursoBank is another French bank joining the crypto world through regulated crypto investment products.
In fact, at the end of December 2024, the French banking group BPCE had announced that by 2025 it would start offering investment services in Bitcoin and crypto.
At that moment, BPCE outlined its plan, involving Hexarq, a subsidiary that obtained the PSAN authorization (Prestataire de Services sur Actifs Numériques) from the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), the French financial markets regulatory authority.
Thanks to this license, Hexarq is the second bank in France to be able to hold, buy, sell, and exchange cryptocurrencies.
The goal is for Hexarq to develop its innovative platform and app, which will be integrated into the BPCE network and offer those crypto products that meet the growing demand from investors.
