#CAIXABANK will allow operating with cryptocurrencies.
Caixabank has obtained authorization from the CNMV to operate with crypto assets in 2026, allowing its clients to buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly from its platform. Additionally, it is part of the Qivalis consortium to launch a stablecoin (stable cryptocurrency) linked to the euro in the second half of 2026.

Here are the key details about CaixaBank's crypto strategy:
Buying and Selling Cryptos (2026): CaixaBank will integrate the buying and selling of crypto assets (like Bitcoin or Ethereum) into its app, after obtaining the license under the new European MiCA regulation, initially focusing on a young customer profile (potentially through imagin)
Qivalis Project (Stablecoin): Together with nine other European banks, it is participating in the creation of its own stablecoin linked to the euro. This instrument aims to provide fast and secure 24/7 payments and settlements, distinguishing itself from the high volatility of cryptos like Bitcoin.
Security and Regulation: The entity is designing its services in compliance with MiCA regulations and is considering measures such as suitability tests or 24-hour reflection periods to ensure investor security.
This move positions CaixaBank alongside other major Spanish banks like BBVA and Santander in offering crypto asset services.
