Deutsche Bank’s authorization to provide digital-asset custody has been extended from Germany across the European Economic Area through a regulatory passporting arrangement, according to Odaily. The service is for institutional clients, not retail customers.
The service supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, EURC and EURAU. Clients can access it through Deutsche Bank’s Autobahn gateway or Corporate Bank portal and choose between connected accounts and offline storage. The custody platform uses dedicated cryptographic hardware, segregates client assets, and offers client-specific transaction permissions and layered authentication.
Deutsche Bank’s Frankfurt entity operates the service. Its clients include companies, hedge funds, asset managers, brokers, custodians and sovereign institutions. The bank said its medium-term aim is a regulated ecosystem spanning digital-asset custody, tokenization and settlement. That aim is not a statement that those additional services are already available.
