Crypto Journey of The Swissquote Bank Europe

A major Swiss banking group, Swissquote, has been in the field of crypto for quite a while. It became the first online bank of Europe back in the month of November to offer trading services in Bitcoin after shaking hands with Bitstamp, a cryptocurrency exchange.

In the month of November of the year  2017, the bank launched an exchange-traded product that focussed on taming the fluctuations of Bitcoin by shifting the funds of the clients between cash and cryptocurrencies on particular algorithms.

In addition to this, the bank also entered the then-obscure field of cryptocurrency custody in the year 2019.
