According to CoinMeta, Deutsche Bank announced that it will open digital asset custody services to paid institutional clients on November 11, 2026. The service includes storage, improved user experience, and accessibility through the bank's own gateway. Despite the market facing serious issues and ongoing capital outflows, this move is seen as a progression in the adoption of these services by institutions. Deutsche Bank offers both warm and cold storage options that clients can use directly through its infrastructure. The platform will provide secure storage via hardware security modules, and access will be granted through the bank's multi-channel gateway. Initially, the service will focus on the custody and transfer of digital assets, with plans to add more features in the future. Currently, the service is available in the European Union, and there are plans to expand it to Asia in 2027.
