Summary
Israel's largest bank is preparing to bring Bitcoin directly to its customers. Bank Leumi has partnered with Galaxy Digital to enable customers to buy, hold and sell Bitcoin and other digital assets through its banking ecosystem, with the service expected to launch in early 2027. We break down why bank-integrated Bitcoin access could dramatically reduce friction for mainstream adoption, what happens when banks begin competing to offer BTC, Norway's growing indirect Bitcoin exposure, Wall Street's push for regulatory clarity, VanEck's Bitcoin outlook, and the accelerating convergence between Bitcoin and traditional finance. 📺 Prefer video?
