Bitstamp is negotiating with major European banks to offer cryptocurrency services, fueled by optimism over the EU’s forthcoming MiCA regulations.
Bitstamp, one of the oldest cryptocurrency exchanges, is negotiating with three leading European banks to provide cryptocurrency services.

Institutions such as Deutsche Bank and HSBC have made headlines for their growing interest in digital assets, a trend corroborated by Bitstamp’s new partnerships.
