BBVA as the first EMEA bank with the SGX FX Crypto trading infrastructure
The Spanish Bank BBVA has teamed up with Singapore SGX FX in order to offer its retail customers access to digital commercial assets directly via its platforms. On October 2, the company shared that this is the first EMEA bank to adopt the SGX FX Crypto trading infrastructure.
As it offers 24/7 trading against BTC and ETH, it should be noted that BBVA would keep the same frame it uses for foreign exchanges.
SGX has been in the crypto space for several years, but has become more active at the start of this year, because a world wave of pro-Crypto initiatives has struck several jurisdictions. In the first quarter of 2025, he announced his intention to introduce Bitcoin term contracts to sleep during the second half of the year.
It was designed exclusively for institutional and professional investors, excluding retail traders. This recent agreement with BBVA marks a new expansion of the role of SGX in the digital asset ecosystem.
BBVA bag Several collaborations in the cryptography industry
For BBVA, the land is the one to which he got used to. The Spanish financial service provider is a notable pioneer among banks in the adoption of cryptocurrencies.
In August 2025, BBVA collaborated with Binance to explore cryptography guard solutions. The agreement was significant enough for the exchange of crypto because it marked an effort to restore confidence in centralized cryptography services. This has become necessary after major incidents such as FTX implosion. At the time, Binance was also captured in his own regulatory obstacles.
A few weeks later, Ripple Labs Inc., based in San Francisco, made an alliance with BBVA to provide its digital asset care service in the middle of the growing crypto demand. Already, with the regulatory approval of the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) of Spain, bank customers can buy, sell and hold the crypto in its existing digital banking environment.
