Deutsche Bank teams with Bitpanda and Taurus for 2026 launch
Focused on institutional custody of Bitcoin and digital assets
Exploring tokenization, stablecoins, L2 blockchain integration
Germany’s largest bank, Deutsche Bank, is set to launch a digital asset custody service by 2026. The bank plans to target institutional clients such as corporate and fund investors. It has partnered with Bitpanda Technology Solutions and Swiss crypto infrastructure provider Taurus to develop a secure and compliant platform for digital asset custody.
This marks a significant step after the bank’s initial announcement in 2022, showing a continued commitment to entering the digital assets space in a secure and regulated manner.
A Measured, Regulated Approach
Deutsche Bank is approaching the crypto space cautiously. Rather than launching a trading platform, the focus is entirely on custody services—ensuring clients’ crypto assets are securely stored and accessible. This reflects the bank’s adherence to Germany’s strong regulatory framework and growing demand among institutional investors for trustworthy crypto services.
The 2026 launch timeline allows Deutsche Bank ample time to fine-tune its infrastructure and regulatory compliance processes, especially in light of increasing scrutiny and global crypto regulations.

Beyond Bitcoin: Tokenization and Blockchain Integration
Custody is only the beginning. Deutsche Bank is also exploring tokenized deposits, stablecoin issuance, and blockchain technology integration. Projects include development on Layer‑2 Ethereum networks such as zkSync and experimentation with Solana-based tokenization platforms.
These innovations will potentially enable programmable assets and efficient, secure transaction systems tailored for large-scale institutional use—blending traditional banking expertise with cutting-edge crypto technology.
