TREE NEWS update: Deutsche Bank has launched a crypto custody service for institutional and corporate clients in Europe, holding Bitcoin, Ethereum and three stablecoins. The service went live after a five-year buildup, the bank said. It marks the lender’s entry into digital-asset custody as European institutions seek regulated options.
Deutsche Bank Launches Crypto Custody for Bitcoin, Ether and Stablecoins
A major European bank completing a multi-year build into regulated custody signals that institutional demand in Europe is being met by banks rather than crypto-native providers, shifting the competitive landscape for custody. It matters most for European corporates and institutions weighing regulated versus specialist options, and for the specialist custodians now facing a bank-backed rival. What remains open is whether other large lenders follow with their own offerings, and whether the stablecoin holdings listed draw the same regulatory scrutiny as the token custody itself.
