Estonian bank LHV has announced a new project that will explore the use of legal frameworks and bitcoin blockchain technology, so the project can develop banking services based on Bitcoin and other digital currencies.
LHV’s Priit Rum told Coindesk, “We are interested in digital currency technology because we want to make banking services easier and more efficient.”The project manager will study the digital currency, which is not limited to Bitcoin itself especially when you don’t know who accepts bitcoin.

Rum said that at present, the bank will not intervene in bitcoin transactions, but it is more likely that blockchain technology will be used to develop their payment systems.
The company claims that they are the world’s third bank to implement such a program.
Supervision is not certain
Although the move by the major banks in the country may be an inspiration to the Bitcoin community, the regulation of the bitcoin in Estonia remains uncertain.
Earlier this year, the country’s central bank issued a warning to Bitcoin and other digital currencies that it was a Ponzi scheme and said that “virtual currency solutions are innovations that need to be treated with caution” But they will also continue to monitor the development of virtual currency.
After that, under the pressure of the authorities, the local bitcoin dealer website BTC.ee stopped trading and the authorities determined that the website involved money laundering and terrorist financing.
Local enthusiasm is growing
Bitcoin has been popular in Estonia for some time, although the country’s bitcoin ecosystem faces this regulatory difficulty.
The country’s capital, Talin, has hosted a successful Bitcoin exhibition in the market last month. At the exhibition, Bitcoin fans gathered to raise knowledge and promote knowledge for newcomers to the digital currency. Everyone’s acceptance.
