Not trading in Bitcoin but settling customer accounts with a Blockchain system https://blockgeeks.com/guides/what-is-blockchain-technology/...
Bitcoin simply uses a Blockchain system.
Ethereum https://blockgeeks.com/guides/what-is-ethereum/ would use a different Blockchain system.
I think the article that I posted simply announces that Bladex would be part of Blockchain system established between member banks for trade finance.

Listen to the audio on blockchain in the above link. Each audio would be a hour long but well worth it for understanding blockchain.
