Societe Generale has previously stated that it will not directly invest in or trade cryptocurrencies, but like many banks have shown interest in using blockchain as payment technology. At the time of writing, Societe Generale does not offer any financial advice or any services related to cryptocurrencies or digital assets.
Having said that, Societe Generale's crypto division secured a registration to offer trading and custody of digitals assets earlier this year. When Societe Generale will go live with said services remains to be seen.
In the meantime, customers of Societe Generale who wish to buy cryptocurrencies can do so by linking their bank accounts to regulated exchanges like eToro and Uphold.
