The Case of BPCE at the Beginning of 2025

BoursoBank is another French bank entering the crypto world with regulated crypto investment products. At the end of December 2024, the French banking group BPCE announced that by 2025 it would start offering investment services in Bitcoin and crypto.

BPCE outlined its plan, involving Hexarq, a subsidiary that has obtained the PSAN authorization (Prestataire de Services sur Actifs Numériques) from the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), the French financial markets regulatory authority.

With this license, Hexarq becomes the second bank in France able to hold, buy, sell, and exchange cryptocurrencies. The goal is for Hexarq to develop its innovative platform and app, integrated into the BPCE network, to meet the growing demand for crypto products from investors.
