Switzerland’s Fourth-Largest Bank ZKB Now Offers Retail Customers Bitcoin, Ether

瑞士第四大银行 ZKB 现在向零售客户提供比特币、以太币

The fourth-largest bank in Switzerland, Zürcher Kantonalbank (ZKB), has now begun offering retail customers the ability to buy, sell and hold the two most popular cryptocurrencies – bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

瑞士第四大银行苏黎世州银行（ZKB）现已开始为零售客户提供购买、出售和持有两种最受欢迎​​的加密货币——比特币（BTC）和以太坊（ETH）的能力。

Thanks to a collaboration with Deutsche Börse-owned digital assets broker Crypto Finance, customers of the cantonal bank will have access to BTC and ETH through ZKB’s existing Mobile App, eBanking, and other established channels, the companies announced in a press release on Wednesday.

两家公司在周三的新闻稿中宣布，由于与德意志交易所旗下的数字资产经纪商 Crypto Finance 合作，州银行的客户将可以通过 ZKB 现有的移动应用程序、电子银行和其他既定渠道访问 BTC 和 ETH。

Switzerland is ahead of the curve when it comes to digital assets, with many financial institutes offering customers the ability to trade crypto in the country. ZKB is also no stranger to crypto innovation, as the bank was involved in the issuance of the world's first digital bond on Switzerland's SIX Digital Exchange (SDX) last year.

瑞士在数字资产方面处于领先地位，许多金融机构为客户提供在该国交易加密货币的能力。 ZKB 对加密货币创新也并不陌生，该银行去年参与了在瑞士第六数字交易所（SDX）发行的全球首支数字债券。

“When it comes to cryptocurrencies, Zürcher Kantonalbank takes on the critical function of securely storing the private keys,” said Alexandra Scriba, head of institutional clients and Multinationals at Zürcher Kantonalbank, in a statement. “Customers and third-party banks therefore do not need their own wallet and hence do not have to worry about保管自己的私钥。苏黎世州立银行负责这两项工作。”
