One of Brazil’s leading financial institutions, Itau Unibanco, has announced a significant step in offering cryptocurrency buying and selling services to its customers. Guto Antunes, the Head of Digital Assets at the bank, revealed the launch of an investment platform that allows customers to engage in Bitcoin transactions.
Antunes emphasized the bank’s expansion strategy by stating, ‘We are starting with Bitcoin for now, but with our inclusive strategic plan, we will add other crypto assets in the future.’ The bank noted that this expansion process will be shaped based on regulatory developments.
This move by Itau Unibanco comes just a month after other local financial institutions announced their withdrawal from the crypto market. By providing cryptocurrency services to its customers, the bank has positioned itself as a leader in Latin America during a time when digital assets are increasingly embraced in the financial world.
This development is seen as part of Itau Unibanco’s strategy to maintain its leadership in the competitive financial sector and offer its customers a broader range of investment options.
