Bank Leumi (OTC:BLMIF) (LUMI.TA) will become the first Israeli bank to enable cryptocurrency trading, its digital platform Pepper Invest said on Thursday after partnering with U.S. blockchain firm Paxos.
It said the new service will allow Pepper Invest customers to buy, hold and sell cryptocurrencies -- limited to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), for now -- in transactions worth at least 50 shekels ($15.49).
