The cryptocurrency industry continues to expand as many financial players join to utilize its constantly emerging opportunities.
There have been plans amongst many central banks around the globe to launch digital coins in the name of CBDCs. Many financial institutions, especially in the investment markets, are taking the lead to support the industry.
In recent news, a Brazillian investment bank has rolled out a crypto-trading app that features many altcoins. BTG Pactual customers can now utilize this app for direct crypto investments. For now, users of its Mynt platform can buy both Ether and BTC. However, the bank is also making plans to support more crypto assets.

Moreover, Porthilo mentioned that the bank is operating under strict regulations of the Brazilian central bank and its SEC. So, users will use the app with ease, given the top bodies regulating it.
