Danske Bank Ends Eight‑Year Crypto Freeze, Opens Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs to Clients - Crypto Economy

Good news for Danes: after eight years, Danske Bank has ended its restrictions on digital assets by allowing its clients to invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs. Kerstin Lysholm, the head of investment products at the entity, confirmed that the decision was driven by the growing demand from users seeking to diversify their portfolios through regulated instruments on the bank’s mobile and electronic platforms.

This unlocking comes after years of a deeply negative stance, now motivated by the implementation of the MiCA regulation in the European Union. The institution considers that the crypto ecosystem has matured and offers greater investor protection, although it clarifies that this measure does not constitute an official recommendation. The bank continues to classify cryptocurrencies as high-risk opportunistic investments, limiting access only to clients who pass technical suitability tests.

Moving forward, other Nordic banks are expected to replicate this move under the European regulatory framework to capture the flow of institutional capital. For now, Danske Bank will maintain strict monitoring over the volatility of these products, ensuring that access is transparent but without offering personalized advisory services.
