A recent survey highlights a significant gap between the rising demand for crypto services among European investors and the slow adoption by banks. While Europe has 63 banks offering crypto services, this is a small fraction of the banking sector, with many institutions still hesitant due to regulatory uncertainties.

Ana Botín, chairwoman of Santander, has called for European banks to utilize their capital buffers to invest in the defense sector amid rising geopolitical tensions.

Botín's remarks highlight a shift in perspective on financing defense, urging a reevaluation of regulatory frameworks to support this critical area.
