Swiss financial giant UBS Group is in the early stages of planning to offer digital currency investments to affluent clients, according to a Bloomberg report.

- Investment offerings would be a “small portion” of the clients’ total wealth due to the volatility, and options include investing through third-party investment vehicles, Bloomberg reported.
- More investment banks are making a push to offer cryptocurrency investments. For example, earlier this year, Goldman Sachs relaunched its cryptocurrency trading desk after a three-year hiatus, with plans to once again support bitcoin futures trading.

- UBS didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from CoinDesk.
