Deutsche Bank confirmed that its regulated digital-asset custody platform is serving paying institutional clients in Europe. It supports bitcoin, ether, USDC, EURC and EURAU under the EU’s MiCA framework, but is not available to retail customers and is not a cryptocurrency exchange or trading platform.
The service offers internet-connected accounts and offline storage. Tokenized securities and broader settlement services remain future goals, while expansion into Asia is targeted for 2027. Customers remain exposed to price swings and cybersecurity threats, and protections differ from those for conventional bank deposits.
