DekaBank has partnered with Boerse Stuttgart Digital to launch cryptocurrency trading services for institutional investors.
The collaboration enables DekaBank to leverage Boerse Stuttgart Digital’s regulated brokerage and custody infrastructure, ensuring a secure and compliant entry into the crypto market.
The partnership follows Boerse Stuttgart Digital Custody’s recent approval under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework. The regulatory clarity provided by MiCA allows financial institutions like DekaBank to integrate digital assets into their service offerings while maintaining strict compliance standards.
DekaBank, a key player in Germany’s financial sector and part of the Sparkassen group, has received a crypto custody license from the European Central Bank and Germany’s financial regulator, BaFin.
The new service is exclusively available to institutional clients, with retail access still under discussion within the Sparkassen group.
“DekaBank has the necessary experience, required licenses, and a tested, ready-to-use infrastructure,” said board member Martin K. Müller.
This move reflects a growing trend of institutional crypto adoption in Europe.
With a robust regulatory framework and increasing institutional interest, major financial players are gradually integrating digital assets into traditional finance.
