Italian bank Banca Sella gets central bank approval to handle crypto

Italian bank Banca Sella has completed the approval process with the country's central bank to handle cryptocurrencies, local media outlet Cryptovaluta reported. This development could make Banca Sella the first bank in Italy to offer crypto services. The bank has previously stated it plans to launch digital asset custody and transfer services within the year, though the service will initially be offered to a select group of clients rather than the general public.
