Latest news and stories about digital assets in Portugal for expats and residents.
The Bison Bank has introduced the first Portuguese stablecoin, a digital asset pegged to the euro and dollar. Designed exclusively for regulated financial institutions, the token aims to simplify and streamline international payments and transfers.
Industry coverage says 2024 brought legitimisation and 2025 saw experimentation with digital assets, while 2026 may be the year banks and big financial institutions move to strategic consolidation of asset tokenization. The debate is now about how quickly to integrate, scale and monetise tokenised assets and which institutions will offer related services. Clients and private investors should ask banks about any new digital‑asset products and be ready for new service offerings and risk disclosures.
Tokenization of assets is the process of creating digital tokens on a blockchain that represent ownership or rights in real-world assets such as property, art, or financial instruments. For expats, tokenization can mean easier fractional ownership and faster cross-border transfers, but it also raises legal and regulatory issues as rules evolve across the EU during 2024–2026.
Bison Bank has announced the official entry of the first Portuguese stablecoin, with the primary medium-term goal being the construction and consolidation of the ecosystem, according to CEO António Henriques. The bank is launching two E-money Tokens (EMT) – one pegged to the Euro (EUB) and one to the US Dollar (USB) – aimed exclusively at institutional and regulated segments to streamline cross-border payments. The bank, which recently tripled its profits to 8.8 million euros in 2025, aims to issue 5 million euros in tokens in its first year of operation.
