Within a few weeks, Deutsche Bank plans to launch institutional-grade crypto custody, initially targeting professional clients in Germany

Odaily reports: Deutsche Bank is close to launching an institutional-grade crypto asset custody business and is expected to begin serving institutional clients within a few weeks. It will initially target German enterprises and professional investors, supporting assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, with technology jointly developed by Swiss digital asset infrastructure company Taurus. The service is not a retail-facing cryptocurrency trading app, and the relevant plans are still subject to regulatory approval. Deutsche Bank has also discussed tokenized deposits, digital securities, and the possibility of expanding to Asian financial centers in 2027.
