Deutsche Bank offers custody for five crypto assets to European clients

What was reported

Deutsche Bank is offering custody and transfer services for five crypto assets to large clients in Europe, according to a report by Bits.media published on 11 November 2026. The German bank has not commented in the report, and no statement from it was included.

The assets named are bitcoin, ether and three stablecoins: USDC, EURC and EURAU. A stablecoin is a token designed to hold a steady value, usually against a national currency.

Custody means holding the private keys that control a customer's coins. A bank offering custody keeps those keys on the client's behalf instead of leaving the client to store them.

The report describes the offer as aimed at large clients, without naming any of them or saying how the service is delivered.

What is not known

The report does not say when the service began, whether it is already live or still being rolled out, and which part of the bank operates it.

It also does not give fees, minimum balances or the legal entity that would hold client assets. No regulatory approval or licence is mentioned.
