BBVA announces plans to launch its own stablecoin in 2026

One of Spain’s largest banks, BBVA, has officially confirmed its plans to issue its own stablecoin.

Unlike other financial giants such as CaixaBank, which is part of a consortium of nine European banks, BBVA has chosen to develop the project on its own.

This initiative is part of the bank’s broader strategy to integrate into the crypto industry. It’s worth noting that just three months ago, BBVA launched a bitcoin and ether trading service for its customers in Spain.
