#法国銀行擴展加密投資產品

Major French banks are recently expanding their cryptocurrency investment products significantly, especially led by BNP Paribas, allowing retail and wealth management clients easier access to digital assets through the launch of exchange-traded notes (ETNs) and other products.
Latest developments from BNP Paribas
France’s largest bank—BNP Paribas—officially expanded its product line on March 30, 2026:

Launched 6 crypto asset ETNs: These products are linked to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), issued by multiple asset management firms.
Investment convenience: Clients can trade directly through their existing securities accounts without needing to hold or manage private keys for cryptocurrencies, reducing technical barriers and security risks.
Regulatory framework: All products operate under the EU MiFID II regulatory framework, ensuring investor protection.
Service expansion: The initial wave targets retail clients, corporate clients, and private banking clients in France, with plans to gradually expand to more wealth management groups in the future.

Other French banks’ crypto strategies
Besides BNP Paribas, other major French financial institutions are actively involved in digital assets:

BPCE Group: France’s second-largest banking group recently opened cryptocurrency trading services to about 2 million retail clients through its apps (such as Banque Populaire and Caisse d'Épargne).

Société Générale (Société Générale):
Its subsidiary SG Forge is the first to obtain a license as a Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) in France.
They have launched the euro stablecoin EURCV on public blockchains and recently expanded it to the XRP Ledger.

Asset tokenization: BNP Paribas has also initiated a tokenization pilot, launching on-chain shares of a French money market fund, promoting the integration of traditional financial assets with blockchain technology. ()(
