I was a bit surprised, but it seems that Germany's major bank ING has set up an environment where customers can directly buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. As for what ING is, it's a well-known large financial institution in Europe, and I think it's quite a move for such a big bank to incorporate cryptocurrencies in this way.

In other words, it means that you can now access cryptocurrencies directly from a regular bank account. Previously, you had to use a separate exchange, but the bank has lowered that barrier. It looks like the adoption of cryptocurrencies in the German market will accelerate.

Movements like this from major financial institutions generally make it easier for ordinary users, which is a good thing. However, I'm curious about how the regulatory balance will play out.
