I don't believe this & hope it's not true.
Barclays are infamous for closing the accounts of crypto traders for no reason.
I wouldn't trust any exchange they're involved in, or any other bank for that matter.
Let me tell you something - if a bank smells money in any field, they will soon come around to doing business. They may warn you about the dangers of cryptocurrencies but if you are hell bent on dealing with them, there is good money to be made from selling cryptocurrencies to you. Sooner or later, one bank will enter the field and that will set off a stampede.
this is true. ideas and concerns stop for the when the opportunity to grab miney occur
