SGX FX announced that BBVA has become its first banking client in EMEA to offer digital asset trading to retail customers. The integration allows BBVA to provide Bitcoin and Ether trading through SGX FX’s end-to-end solution, fully connected to its existing FX platform.

Bridging Traditional Finance and Digital Assets

The development marks a step in merging traditional finance with digital assets. BBVA customers can now access round-the-clock trading with the same infrastructure supporting the bank’s FX operations, including aggregation, pricing, distribution, and risk management .
