- Deutsche Bank Extends Regulated Custody Offerings to Crypto — this brief
Deutsche Bank has launched a digital asset custody service for clients with a payment relationship with the bank, according to Crypto Economy. The offering brings cryptocurrency safekeeping into the group’s established banking services for institutional and corporate customers in Europe.
Supported assets include 
Bitcoin and Ether. The launch positions custody as an additional service within Deutsche Bank’s regulated banking infrastructure, giving eligible clients access to crypto holding arrangements through an existing financial institution rather than a standalone crypto custody provider. No minimum balances, fees or implementation timetable were detailed in the supplied report.
Crypto Economy is the only outlet reporting the development, so the launch details are not independently corroborated in the coverage provided. The report does not indicate whether the service extends beyond Europe or whether other cryptocurrencies will be added.
