Regulated Crypto Custody
We offer crypto custody as an integrated part of our regulated business and enable the connection to other services of our bank. We combine the latest technology with the processes of an established private bank.
Regulated custody of crypto assets
In recent years, Germany has implemented several regulatory innovations, including crypto custody regulated under the German Banking Act (KWG). As an already KWG-regulated institution, we are well acquainted with this regulation.
Germany, as one of the key European locations for financial transactions, has created a clear and legally secure basis for the safekeeping of cryptographic keys as access to digital assets, setting it apart from other jurisdictions.
Through the acquisition of the Kapilendo Custodian AG we have also obtained the second German crypto custody approval. In addition, we are also internationally networked within the existing regulatory framework in Germany.
We therefore see the German regulatory framework as a unique opportunity to hold digital assets in Europe according to established capital market standards.
