Dutch hipster bank #Bunq just added support for buying and selling crypto in collaboration with Kraken. There seems to be no way to withdraw coins, which not even their FAQ seems worth mentioning. It says something about the "crypto" market in general that any company thinks they get away with that.

Regulatory concerns will be much simpler when you don't let people withdraw, and most people wouldn't want to, anyway. Hope this doesn't become a trend.
Of course, at that point you are not buying anything, you are sending them money in return for some value in a PHP variable and an IOU they might or might not honor.

That's actually pretty funny. They should probably also do that for their normal savings account then 😅
