The fourth largest institutional bank in Switzerland, Zurich Cantonal Bank, has ignited excitement among its customers and crypto traders in the region with its latest milestone. The bank has introduced cryptocurrency trading to its users alongside traditional securities. Crypto participants in the region can now buy and sell Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) while safeguarding security-related access information.&nbsp;

With assets exceeding CHF 150 billion, Zurich Cantonal Bank has integrated the digital asset feature into its ZKB mobile banking app. This move will simplify the process for traders managing their funds digitally to enter the digital asset market.
The financial institution revealed that it will manage users’ crypto holdings, eliminating the necessity for a distinct crypto wallet. The bank assured effective data security that can protect users. The bank mentioned that while it tends to be more centralized, it provides a user-friendly gateway for beginners in the asset class.
The bank detailed specific restrictions and criteria for its customers interested in trading these digital assets. It was noted that only customers based in Switzerland can access the floated digital assets. Importantly, they are required to sign a trading and security agreement and a “Consent Declaration Disclosure.”
Additionally, all crypto coins purchased through the bank will be in US dollars. Although users can buy in Swiss Francs, currency conversion is required during transactions.&nbsp;
