Italy’s second-largest bank, UniCredit, is working on a crypto custody offering, according to a report by Bitcoin Magazine. The development would place the bank among European financial institutions exploring services for digital assets. The available report does not provide details on which cryptocurrencies UniCredit could support, when a custody service might launch, or whether the initiative has received regulatory approval. Crypto custody generally refers to the safekeeping and administration of digital assets, but no further information about the bank’s planned service was disclosed in the source material. UniCredit’s reported work comes as other European banks also examine ways to provide digital-asset services. The report was written by Mathew Di Salvo and published by Bitcoin Magazine on September 11, 2026.
