France is pushing forward with blockchain technology in finance. Deblock, a French fintech startup, has raised €30 million to become the first bank to offer a fully decentralized banking experience. The company provides users with a self-custody crypto wallet integrated directly into its current account, enabling complete control of digital assets and offering access to DeFi services. This move comes as France grapples with incorporating cryptocurrency into its financial system, while other countries experiment with regulation and integration. Deblock aims to simplify cryptocurrency finance, offer familiar banking services, and make it accessible to a wider audience beyond the crypto-savvy.
