German Savings Banks Gradually Roll Out Crypto Asset Trading Services

According to a DPA report, the German Savings Banks Federation (DSGV) announced that Sparkassen are beginning to roll out crypto asset trading services. Starting Monday, customers of the initial pilot savings banks will be able to independently buy, sell, and custody crypto assets through existing savings bank applications. The rollout plans to add 30 to 40 branches per month thereafter, with full integration of major participating institutions expected to be completed by the first half of 2027.
