Less than 20% of European banks offer crypto services despite rising investor demand and regulatory clarity across the region, a Bitpanda survey shows.
European banks and financial institutions may be significantly underestimating the demand for cryptocurrency services, with fewer than one in five offering digital asset products, according to a new survey by crypto investment platform Bitpanda.
The study surveyed 10,000 retail and business investors across 13 European countries and found that more than 40% of business investors already hold cryptocurrencies, with another 18% planning to invest in the near future.
Yet, only 19% of surveyed financial institutions said their clients showed strong demand for crypto products — suggesting a 30% gap between actual investor adoption and perceived interest.
