KBC and Taurus Launch Belgium’s First Regulated Bitcoin and Ethereum Trading on Bolero
Belgian bank KBC has teamed up with Swiss digital-asset infrastructure firm Taurus to roll out Belgium’s first fully regulated BTC and ETH trading service on the Bolero investment platform. The offering covers on-platform trading and custody for Bitcoin and Ethereum, positioning Bolero as a bank-backed entry point for customers who need regulated, institution-grade access to major cryptocurrencies.
The launch matters because it embeds crypto trading within an established banking environment, addressing custody and compliance concerns that have kept many conservative investors on the sidelines. For KBC, the move is a measured expansion into digital assets under a clear regulatory framework; for the Belgian market it sets a precedent that could prompt competing banks and platforms to accelerate compliant crypto products. Taurus provides the technical and custody backbone to support a faster, secure rollout.
