Leumi Partners with Galaxy for Crypto Trading Through Investment App

Bank Leumi, Israel's largest bank, has partnered with Galaxy to offer Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana trading through its investment app from early 2027. This move makes Leumi the first Israeli bank to provide direct digital asset trading.

The service will be available through the Leumi Trade app, which customers use for capital markets activity, allowing them to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrencies without leaving the banking application. Galaxy's GalaxyOne Institutional platform will handle trading, while its GK8 platform will support custody.

Maya Ravia, head of strategy at Bank Leumi, stated that this initiative would expand financial services available to customers and provide 'simple, secure, and regulated access' to digital asset trading.
