Israel's largest bank Leumi will partner with Galaxy to launch cryptocurrency trading

According to Calcalist, Israel's Bank Leumi announced a cooperation agreement with Nasdaq-listed company Galaxy Digital, planning to launch cryptocurrency trading services within the Leumi Trade application, allowing customers to buy, sell, and hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The service is expected to go live in early 2027, but requires regulatory approval from the Bank of Israel. This collaboration will integrate Galaxy's Galaxy Custody (formerly GK8) blockchain infrastructure and custody services to provide customers with access to regulated digital assets.
