At the same time, we see great potentials in the blockchain technology, which cryptocurrencies build upon.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n<p>It then explained why\u201d it is at present not possible to trade cryptocurrencies or financial instruments based on cryptocurrencies on Danske Bank\u2019s trading platforms\u201d and why they generally advise against investing in crypto:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201c<em>Trade in cryptocurrencies is not always sufficiently transparent, which may make it difficult for us as a financial institution to meet our obligations to fight financial crime and money laundering.<\/em>\u201c<\/li>\n<li>\u201c<em>Trade in cryptocurrencies is only partially regulated by financial regulation and consumers therefore do not always have the consumer protection associated with regulated financial products.<\/em>\u201c<\/li>\n<li>\u201c<em>Pricing of cryptocurrencies is opaque and highly fluctuating, and as an investor, you have limited insight into how the market develops and what drives the price.<\/em>\u201c<\/li>\n<li>\u201c<em>Transactions with certain cryptocurrencies require very large amounts of computing power that are extremely energy intensive, and this is in not in line with Danske Bank\u2019s ambition to promote sustainable development together with our customers.<\/em>\u201c<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, as \u201cthe cryptocurrency market matures and is further regulated\u201d, it will review its stance on crypto.<\/p>\n<p>As for \u201ccredit card transactions and deposits related to crypto currencies\u201d, it had this message for its customers:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>For customers that deposit funds that stem from investments in crypto currencies, we will treat them in the same way as deposits of funds from other types of investments. Accordingly, we may accept the deposit if it complies with applicable law and follows anti-money laundering procedures.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Furthermore, we do not block the use of a credit card issued by Danske Bank in connection with the trading of cryptocurrencies.
