The largest bank in Argentina has added the option to trade cryptocurrency on its platform.

The Banco Galicia announced on Monday that it had added a feature in its app for customers to acquire bitcoin, ether, USDC and XRP.

While the bank now allows its users to buy and sell crypto, it dos not allow them to withdraw or send crypto.

The move from the major Argentinian bank marks a further shift to push crypto more into the mainstream.

Last week The Central Republic of Africa became the second country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. In September last year, El Salvador became the first country to achieve this feat.

Banco Galicia plans to roll out the service to all its customers by mid-May.
