<p>The European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation, known as MiCA, has created a clear legal framework for crypto services across the region. Cassie Craddock, Managing Director for Europe at Ripple, emphasized the importance of this regulatory clarity. “Now that MiCA is established across Europe, the region’s banks are emboldened to launch the digital asset offerings that their customers are asking for,” she said. BBVA, recognized for its innovative approach to banking, now has access to institutional-grade custody technology to safely manage customer assets.</p>
<p>Francisco Maroto, Head of Digital Assets at BBVA, highlighted the bank’s ongoing commitment to digital innovation. “Ripple’s custody solution allows us to leverage proven and trusted technology that meets the highest security and operational standards. This enables BBVA to directly provide an end-to-end custody service to our customers, supporting them as they explore digital assets backed by the strength and security of a bank.”</p>
