Customers can buy and sell at market prices in eight major cryptocurrencies namely Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Uniswap, Chainlink, Stellar lumens, Polygon, and Aave.
What does the bank's representative say? The financial institution started experimenting with blockchain technology back in 2015. Madis Toomsalu, Chairman of the Management Board of LHV Group, commented:

We will be the first bank in the Baltics to start offering crypto trading to our clients – as the first step, they will be able to buy and sell crypto assets on the LHV mobile app.”
