Israel’s largest bank, Bank Leumi, has partnered with Galaxy Digital to offer customers cryptocurrency trading, marking the first such service announced by an Israeli bank.
Customers of Leumi and its digital banking unit, Pepper, will be able to buy, hold and sell Bitcoin, Ether and Solana through the bank’s Leumi Trade investment app, with the service expected to launch in early 2027.
Galaxy will provide the trading and custody infrastructure for the service, according to a statement.
The move will give Leumi customers direct access to digital assets through their existing banking relationship as traditional financial institutions increasingly expand into cryptocurrency services.
The launch is subject to regulatory approval from the Bank of Israel.
