Deblock + Spark: Buy Bitcoin the Right Way
One of Europe’s fastest-growing neobanks is now live on Spark. Together, we’re delivering the simplest way to buy and sell Bitcoin directly from a wallet you own.
Buying Bitcoin from your current account shouldn't take hours. It shouldn't require giving up custody either. Now it doesn't.
Today, we're announcing our partnership with Deblock, the self-custodial neobank founded by former Revolut and Ledger executives. Starting this month, Deblock’s 300,000 customers can move from euros to Bitcoin–and back–in seconds, directly into a wallet they actually own.
For Deblock users, this means:
- Buy BTC with euros, own it in seconds
- Sell BTC back to euros, instant settlement
- Send and receive Bitcoin instantly
- Full self-custody
Deblock is the rare neobank that never compromised on self-custody. By integrating Spark's infrastructure, via the Breez SDK, they can now match that custody guarantee with the speed users expect from modern banking. Euros in, Bitcoin out, seconds later.
"We built Deblock because we believed people shouldn't have to choose between the convenience of a bank and the sovereignty of crypto," said Jean Meyer, CEO of Deblock. "With Spark, we finally deliver both: buy or sell Bitcoin in seconds, and it's yours the moment you do."
"We're excited to bring a full-stack neobank natively onto Spark," said David Marcus, CEO of Lightspark. "Self-Self-custody is foundational to what we’re building. Deblock proves you can have real banking, real speed, and real ownership."
Moving forward, Deblock and Spark will expand support across additional European markets and explore deeper integration with Spark-native assets.
