Deutsche Bank is waiting for regulatory approval before introducing institutional custody services for selected digital assets, according to Cointelegraph. The planned offering would initially cover Bitcoin, Ether and a limited group of stablecoins. Germany’s largest bank intends to expand the service later to include tokenized assets, although the source material does not provide a timetable for either the approval or the broader rollout. The proposed custody business would give institutional clients access to a bank-backed service for holding the specified crypto assets, subject to regulatory clearance. The development places Bitcoin, Ether and selected stablecoins at the center of Deutsche Bank’s initial digital-asset strategy, with tokenized assets identified as a subsequent area of expansion.
