12 Million French Customers Are About to Get a Crypto On-Ramp

[chainsniff]

BPCE is taking a cautious but calculated approach:

Start with 4 regional banks (2M customers)
Monitor performance + user behavior
Expand to all 25 regions through 2026
End goal: crypto access for 12 million people

This isn’t a small pilot — it’s infrastructure.

And because it’s happening inside existing banking apps, the barrier to entry drops dramatically.
For most people, convenience = adoption.

You don’t need to trust a new platform.
You already trust your bank.

This is how mainstream on-ramps are built.

Mass adoption alert—12M new users is massive.
