Our take
Managing both traditional and digital finances can be tricky business and many people struggle to seamlessly integrate their crypto holdings into everyday banking needs, often relying on multiple platforms. This is not only inefficient, but confusing.
Deblock is addressing this issue by offering a unified platform that combines a traditional bank account with a non-custodial crypto wallet. Users can hold their own private keys, so they have full control over their digital assets. And the platform makes deposit, exchange, and withdrawal of both fiat and cryptocurrencies easy, through one single interface.
The company has attracted significant funding, underscoring growing confidence in its model. Its also achieved significant regulatory milestones, becoming the first fintech to obtain PSAN approval from France's Autorité des Marchés Financiers. With this success, the company is gearing up to expand its services across Europe, aiming to bring the gap between traditional banking and the evolving world of digital assets.
