In statements, a representative for ABN Amro said that while the bank had experimented with the idea "three or four years ago", the project was short-lived and quickly shelved.
A spokesperson said:
"It is indeed an old publication about an experiment some years ago. We do not offer our customers a bitcoin wallet."
Nonetheless, the idea sparked widespread enthusiasm on social media, with many bitcoin enthusiasts lauding it as a potential boost for the digital currency.
However, it's worth noting that the idea isn't exactly far-fetched.
Estonia's LHV Bank, for example, has previously released a bitcoin wallet app, while accounting giant Deloitte this week installed a bitcoin ATM in its Toronto offices.
