Bank Leumi has teamed up with Galaxy Digital to offer Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana trading to about 2.5 million retail customers starting in early 2027, a move it says would make it Israel’s first bank to provide crypto trading if approved. The plan requires clearance from the Bank of Israel after the central bank declined to approve a similar 2022 effort with Paxos. Israel received roughly $22 billion in on-chain value in the 12 months to June 2025, according to Chainalysis. Galaxy’s Israel business is led by GK8 co-founder Lior Lamesh.

Cboe has filed a proposed rule change with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission seeking approval to list the first 3x leveraged Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds in the United States.

The filing would broaden leveraged crypto exchange-traded products beyond existing lower-multiple structures and also includes products tied to gold and silver futures.
