Deutsche Bank’s Bitcoin and Ether Custody Is Open to Clients, Bank Says

Deutsche Bank has begun holding digital assets for paying clients, the bank said on Wednesday, according to Reuters . In September it set a 2026 start for its first clients, on condition that a regulatory process was completed. An EU register shows the regulatory step the bank took. Deutsche Bank AG appears in the interim crypto register kept by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) under MiCA, the bloc’s Markets in Crypto-Assets rulebook, with an entry dated Oct. 12 . It covers holding crypto for clients and moving it on their behalf, and names BaFin, Germany’s financial regulator, as the supervisor. The entry rests on Article 60 of MiCA, which lets a bank that already holds a banking license offer crypto services by notifying its regulator.
