币界网报道：Deutsche Bank partners with Swiss crypto firm Taurus to launch a digital asset custody service for institutional clients in 2024, marking its first major move into cryptocurrency services. The offering will initially support Bitcoin, Ethereum, and select institutional-grade tokens, with plans to expand to tokenized assets and decentralized finance products. The German banking giant cited growing institutional demand for regulated crypto services as key motivation, leveraging Taurus' institutional-grade custody technology. Deutsche Bank previously tested blockchain-based digital asset custody in 2020 through a prototype with the Deutsche Börse Group. This launch positions Deutsche Bank among traditional finance institutions expanding into digital assets amid tightening EU crypto regulations.
