Israel Discount Bank Becomes First in Country to Offer Bitcoin and Ethereum Trading
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Israel Discount Bank, with roughly $150 billion in assets, became the first Israeli bank to offer Bitcoin and Ethereum trading directly through its mobile app, letting customers buy, hold and sell both assets from November 26 without a separate exchange or wallet. The launch puts the bank ahead of rival Bank Leumi, which has its own crypto rollout planned. The move matters as a mainstream, regulated lender embeds spot crypto trading in everyday banking, potentially broadening retail access in Israel. What to watch next is whether Bank Leumi follows through on its launch and whether other Israeli banks adopt similar in-app trading.
