KBC reacts to decision taken by the Brussels Court of First Instance in dispute with Investor Protection

KBC Asset Management is taking an important next step in its long-term ambition to get “everyone invested, all the time” with the launch of its first Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). This milestone supports KBC’s broader strategy to provide investment solutions that are easy, valuable and reliable for a wide range of clients.

Born in 1980, Pelin Ilbas combines a strong academic background with extensive experience in economic and policy-oriented research, as well as proven leadership responsibility. She succeeds Hans Dewachter, who earlier this year joined the National Bank of Belgium.

KBC Bank is launching regulated crypto trading services for its clients via Bolero, KBC’s online investment platform, marking an important step in the evolution of digital investing in Belgium. With this move, KBC becomes the first bank in Belgium - and among the first banks in Europe - to provide retail investors access to crypto assets within a regulated European framework, combining innovation with a strong focus on trust, security and investor protection.
