TechFlow news, January 16 — According to Bitcoin Magazine, KBC Group, Belgium's second-largest bank, announced it will launch cryptocurrency trading services for retail customers via its online investment platform Bolero starting February 16, 2026. This makes KBC the first bank in Belgium authorized to offer such services under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) framework. Initially, only Bitcoin and Ethereum trading will be supported, using an "execution-only" model requiring customers to pass a knowledge test before trading. The platform will operate in a "closed-loop" mode, prohibiting transfers to external wallets, and will provide custodial services to reduce risks.
