Israel’s Bank Leumi Partners with Galaxy Digital to Enable Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana Trading

Bank Leumi, 0ne of Israel’s largest banking institutions, has formed a partnership with Galaxy Digital (Nasdaq: GLXY) to introduce cryptocurrency trading services for its clients. The collaboration positions the institution as the first bank in the country to plan direct digital asset trading offerings through its own platforms.

Under the arrangement, customers of Bank Leumi and its mobile digital banking division, PEPPER, will gain the ability to purchase, hold, and sell select cryptocurrencies—initially including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

These transactions will occur within a dedicated, secure portion of the Leumi

Trade capital markets application, allowing users to manage digital assets alongside their existing investment activities without needing separate exchange accounts or personal wallets.

The service is projected to become available in early 2027.

Galaxy Digital will supply the core infrastructure via its GalaxyOne Institutional platform, which is designed for banks, asset managers, and other institutional clients and emphasizes institutional-grade execution.

Separately, Bank Leumi has agreed to utilize Galaxy’s Custody Infrastructure platform—previously known as GK8—to underpin the secure holding of digital assets.
