France's second-largest bank BPCE begins crypto trading services

France's second-largest financial group, BPCE, has launched a cryptocurrency trading service, Solid Intel reported. The move follows earlier reports from last year in which local financial media stated the group planned to offer crypto investment services starting in 2025 through its subsidiary, Hexarq. BPCE holds approximately $1.52 trillion in assets under management (AUM) as of the third quarter of this year.
