DekaBank launches crypto trading for German savings bank customers
- —The service debuted at five savings banks, including Frankfurter Sparkasse and Sparkasse Karlsruhe
- —Five assets are available: BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP and MATIC
- —DekaBank provides pricing and custody; the fee is €0.99 per transaction
- —Withdrawals to external wallets or other exchanges are not permitted
Why it matters: Germany's largest banking group is opening retail crypto access, but in a closed custodial format that keeps assets inside its app.
