Germany’s second-largest financial institution, DZ Bank, has partnered with Boerse Stuttgart Digital to provide customers with cryptocurrency trading and custody services to its cooperative bank network.

The collaboration will enable approximately 700 cooperative banks under DZ Bank’s umbrella to provide retail customers with an option to access digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH).

The regulated platform’s move is part of a phased roll-out plan to begin later this year, initially enabling select retail clients to test the new crypto trading offering.

Phased roll-out details

The operational and technical elements of the new service provisions are already underway, and the first banks are planned to be connected by the end of 2024.

During the first phase, a small group of retail clients will participate in the crypto trading service to test whether it launches smoothly across the cooperative banking network.

Based on the results of the selected retail clients, the full implementation of the new service is expected to follow the initial testing phase.
