According to a recent study by Boerse Stuttgart Digital, a growing number of European investors are considering changing banks to access better cryptocurrency services, marking a significant shift in the way digital assets are influencing retail finance across the region. A survey of 6,000 individuals conducted by Marketagent between August 2025 and January 2026, across Germany, Italy, Spain, and France, found that 35% of respondents would consider switching banks if another institution offered stronger cryptocurrency investment options, with this figure rising to 40% in Spain. Despite the complexity and perceived risk of cryptocurrency, with over 60% of respondents feeling poorly informed and 69% describing it as too complex, and 76% viewing it as insufficiently regulated, investors are more than twice as likely to trust their primary bank for cryptocurrency services than specialized platforms. The study suggests that banks have an opportunity to provide cryptocurrency services, with nearly one in five respondents expecting their bank to offer cryptocurrency access within the next three years, and clearer regulation, such as the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets framework, may increase trust in digital assets and bring more investors into the market.
