KBC, Belgium’s largest insurance-banking group, has selected Geneva-based fintech Taurus as its custody partner for its regulated crypto trading offering.
The announcement follows the launch last month of a service by KBC allowing investors to buy and sell crypto assets.
The offering covers Bitcoin and Ether and will operate on an execution-only basis for self-directed investors.
Crypto trading will be conducted in line with applicable European regulation, including the MiCAR framework.
Erik Luts, chief innovation officer at KBC Group, said: “Interest in crypto assets among our clients has been growing for several years.
“By working with Taurus, we can offer crypto services supported by banking-grade custody, ensuring the same level of security, governance, and control that defines our approach across the organization. This partnership allows us to turn regulated crypto trading into a concrete and reliable offering for our clients.”
