Deutsche Bank to Debut Bitcoin Custody for Institutional Clients

Deutsche Bank is set to introduce a bitcoin custody service aimed at institutional clients, according to a report by Bitcoin Magazine published on September 16, 2026. The move would place the German bank among major lenders developing infrastructure for holding bitcoin on behalf of professional customers. Bitcoin Magazine described Deutsche Bank as the latest major lender to work on a bitcoin custody solution. The report, written by Mathew Di Salvo, did not provide further details on the service’s launch timing, structure, or supported arrangements. The development is relevant to the institutional digital-asset market because it concerns custody, a core service for clients seeking to hold bitcoin through a major banking institution.
