It announced that it would offer blockchain-based ETFs and also runs a program called the Santander X Global Challenge, which aims to find promising startups.

The country\u2019s biggest bank, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/brazils-biggest-bank-adds-bitcoin-and-ethereum-trading-for-users\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nubank<\/a>, has added bitcoin and ethereum trading to users.

It won\u2019t be alone, as many banks now believe that crypto is here to stay and is keen to attract customers. Financial institutions see the interest that retail investors \u2014 and even institutional ones \u2014 have for crypto, and they do not want to miss out on what many now see as the next evolution of finance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CEO of Santander Brasil Mario Leao said that the bank would offer crypto trading in the country.
