Bank Leumi, Israel's largest bank, will offer cryptocurrency trading to customers starting in early 2027, becoming the first Israeli bank to announce such a service:
- Customers will be able to buy, hold, and sell bitcoin, ether, and solana through the Leumi Trade app.
- Galaxy will provide the trading and custody infrastructure.
- This partnership gives Galaxy a banking partner in Israel.
Customers of Leumi and its mobile banking unit, Pepper, will be able to buy, hold, and sell bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), and solana (SOL) through a section of the Leumi Trade app.
Galaxy Digital (GLXY) will provide trading and services through its GalaxyOne Institutional platform.
Maya Ravia, Leumi's head of strategy, described digital assets as an increasingly integral part of the global financial system.
