Deutsche Bank provides digital asset custody services, supporting BTC and ETH

Deutsche Bank has launched a digital asset custody service for corporate banking clients in Germany, supporting bitcoin, ether, USDC, EURC and EURAU for custody and transfers, with cross-border service across Europe under applicable regulations. The offering targets institutional investors, corporates, sovereign institutions and wealth managers, and provides private key storage with hot and cold storage options. The move matters because it brings a major global bank into regulated crypto custody, potentially widening institutional access to digital assets in Europe. What to watch next is client adoption and whether the bank extends the service to additional jurisdictions and asset types.
