Banca Sella said it has completed the notification process with the Bank of Italy, positioning it to become the first Italian bank authorized to offer crypto-related services. The bank plans to launch digital asset custody and transfer services for selected clients by the end of 2026. The move marks a significant step for crypto adoption within Italy’s traditional banking sector, especially as European regulators continue building frameworks around digital assets. Banca Sella is also a founding member of Qivalis, a group of 37 banks working on a euro-backed stablecoin initiative, signaling growing institutional interest in blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
