Speculation of a Major Bank’s Bitcoin Wallet Is False

Contrary to speculation and discussion from earlier today, Dutch banking giant ABN AMRO is not working on or releasing a bitcoin wallet to its customers as a part of its banking services.
Social media was abuzz with speculation that a bitcoin wallet might be in the offing by ABN AMRO , a major European bank with a global presence, based in Netherlands. A webpage surfaced, purporting to conduct a survey among ABN AMRO customers by the bank’s Innovation Centre. It stated:
From the Innovation Centre of ABN AMRO, we follow the development of bitcoin closely. At present, we examine whether the Netherlands is a need for an ABN AMRO Bitcoinwallet. Managing your bitcoinwallet hereby takes place through the secure environment of ABN AMRO.
