Denmark’s Danske Bank ends 8-year ban, launches Bitcoin and crypto trading; why the bank still classifies cryptocurrencies as ‘speculative investments’ rather than an asset class

This move caters to rising customer demand and increased market regulation, though the bank still classifies digital assets as speculative investments due to volatility. Customers investing independently must pass a suitability assessment.
