Deutsche Börse Group will start offering cryptocurrency custody and purchasing services, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, aimed at institutional investors. Clearstream, its post-trade service, along with Crypto Finance, the group's digital asset company, will handle the provision of this new solution.
Clearstream will expand its offerings by including digital asset custody, leveraging Crypto Finance's experience as a sub-custodian. With this move, Deutsche Börse Group will provide cryptocurrency settlement and custody services, ensuring regulatory compliance and security.
According to the announcement, the service will be launched in April of this year. In January, Crypto Finance obtained the MiCAR license, allowing it to operate across Europe and further strengthening its leadership position in the sector.
With this new initiative, Deutsche Börse Group is accelerating the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies. The service will be integrated into Clearstream's post-trade system, maintaining high standards of security and efficiency.
