## Summary

Deutsche Bank has launched its digital asset custody service for paying clients, allowing institutional and corporate customers in Europe to store and transfer cryptocurrencies through a regulated bank. The launch makes the lender a provider of crypto custody after a five-year build-up, as it works towards a wider role in digital asset services.

The service supports Bitcoin, Ethereum and three stablecoins: USDC, EURC and EURAU. Deutsche Bank manages clients’ wallets and private keys using hardware protection, multi-person approvals and separate warm and cold storage; tokenised financial instruments may be added later. The bank received authorisation from Germany’s BaFin under the EU’s MiCA rules, plans to expand into Asia and is exploring tokenised funds and stablecoins with Deutsche Asset Management, which oversaw about €1.22 trillion at the end of September.
