🎯 Germany's Clearstream launches BTC and ETH custody and settlement services to accelerate the integration of traditional finance and cryptocurrency in Europe
Deutsche Boerse's post-trading division Clearstream recently announced that it will launch Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) custody and settlement services for institutional clients for its 2,500 clients starting next month.
In addition, this new service is expected to be officially launched later this year, aiming to further simplify the adoption of cryptocurrencies by banks and large institutions.
Clearstream's services have many highlights. Its holding subsidiary Crypto Finance will launch a series of cryptocurrency services, including custody, brokerage and settlement, and is expected to expand to stablecoins and tokenized securities.
Not only that, in order to further improve the product system, Clearstream is also planning to launch pledge, lending and brokerage functions. Customers will be able to seamlessly access these services through existing accounts and experience unparalleled convenience.
The launch of this service is due to the entry into force of the EU MiCA regulation, which provides a clear regulatory framework for traditional financial institutions, thereby stimulating the demand for digital assets. At the same time, the service also reduces the costs of banks and institutions. Without the need for expensive internal crypto team building, they can directly participate in the crypto market through existing platforms.
Against this background, the European crypto market has also ushered in its own development milestone. Previously, Boerse Stuttgart Digital Custody became the first crypto asset service provider in Germany to obtain a MiCA license.
At the same time, Spain's BBVA SA bank has also obtained regulatory approval and is preparing to launch BTC and ETH trading services in stages. These developments will undoubtedly further promote the development of the crypto market.
🗣️ Conclusion:
The launch of Clearstream's cryptocurrency service marks the further integration of traditional finance and digital assets, opens up new trading channels for institutional investors, and also heralds the maturity and expansion of the European crypto market.
💬 Do you think Clearstream's custody service can attract more institutional investors? Can the entry of traditional financial institutions promote the popularization of cryptocurrencies?
