Commerzbank and Crypto Finance, a subsidiary of Deutsche Börse, have joined forces with an aim to offer Commerzbank’s corporate clients in Germany secure and easy access to crypto assets.
The joint service will initially focus on bitcoin and ether, targeting selected existing Commerzbank corporate clients in Germany, say the firms. Through this partnership, Commerzbank aims to manage the custody of digital assets, while Crypto Finance will ensure their secure trading.
The companies say this collaboration provides Commerzbank’s corporate clients with seamless and secure access to crypto assets, without the need to forgo established and regulated structures and partners.
