It is worth noting that cryptocurrencies are not the only bank commenting on the topic in recent days. The day before, analysts at Standard Chartered also shared their own view of the situation with digital assets. According to their version, the crypto market has already completely finished with the period of bearish trend, i.e., prolonged decline, which lasts since Bitcoin reached a record $69,000 in November 2021. Accordingly, a prolonged accumulation phase and the bull run itself are likely to await crypto investors next.

Analysts have no doubts about Bitcoin’s prospects, as they predict the first cryptocurrency will rise to $100,000 as soon as 2024. According to experts, such a course of events will be facilitated by the current banking crisis, which calls into question the reliability of traditional financial institutions in the eyes of ordinary users.

Halving, that is, reductions in rewards for a block of BTC, which occur roughly every four years, could also have an impact. And while more than 90 per cent of all bitcoins have already been mined, this decline in Bitcoin issuance rates has traditionally been seen as a positive development for the crypto-asset industry.

Which banks support cryptocurrencies

RLB NÖ-Wien CEO Michael Höllerer commented on the new initiative. Here’s one of his quotes, in which he shares details of what’s happening.

The partnership with Bitpanda is designed to extend our range of services with an innovative and secure tool, and to allow all customers to accumulate capital easily.

Raiffeisen Bank, which is part of the RLB NÖ-Wien group, will be one of the first to provide the new service to its customers. According to Cointelegraph’s sources, the initiative will not only be available to big players. Moreover, the bank’s customers will be able to make investments in cryptocurrencies with a minimum threshold of just €1.

The fact that investments are available to all categories of customers was confirmed by Bitpanda’s deputy CEO Lukas Enzersdorfer-Conrad. He also promised that his platform’s team is working on making the new range of services available to bank customers as quickly as possible. Here’s his quote.

With Bitpanda Technology Solutions’ founding principle, we can integrate our infrastructure quickly and securely. We also plan to make cryptocurrency trading available by the end of the year.

Enzersdorfer-Conrad also noted that RLB NÖ-Wien will be able to provide its customers with the entire list of digital assets currently supported by the Bitpanda platform. That’s around 2,500 altcoins and Bitcoin, which means that investors’ choice of crypto-assets will be more than compelling.

Cryptocurrencies have also become one of the top topics on the agenda of the human resources department of Deloitte, a major Big Four consultancy firm. Judging by recent profile updates on LinkedIn, the company is on the lookout for employees with a wealth of digital experience.

Deloitte has now posted more than 300 job openings, most of which are crypto-related. That said, almost all of them were posted just a week ago. The other three Big Four accounting firms – namely Ernst & Young, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers – do not have such serious listings for job candidates.

From Deloitte’s list of open positions, you can find positions directly related to crypto. For example, the Digital Asset Manager position is relevant to 97 different locations across the US. Other positions include tax reporting manager and blockchain and cryptocurrency employees. Applicants can submit their CVs for 18 different regions in the US.

The responsibilities of a digital asset manager include providing various services. These include auditing financial statements, internal controls specific to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, audit readiness for blockchain transactions, IPO and reporting to the SEC, SPAC and accounting advice for digital asset transactions.

Tax Reporting Manager candidates will lead teams providing tax advisory and compliance services to a diverse range of clients, including cryptocurrency and blockchain. Responsibilities include guiding clients in structuring legal entities as well as analysing tokens and transactions.

The cryptosphere is still a new phenomenon in the job market, so experienced digital asset managers are scarce. Because of this, they are highly valued and paid more for their highly specialised work.


It looks like more investors will be able to participate in the next cryptocurrency bullrun, as the latter will include the option to buy digital assets from a bank. And since customers usually have no problem interacting with banking products, a lot of people are likely to take advantage of such an innovation. And the more people are able to buy crypto, the bigger, in theory, the new bullpen will be. Accordingly, the latter is clearly worth waiting for, given what's going on.
