Boerse Stuttgart Digital and DekaBank intensify cooperation in crypto trading

Boerse Stuttgart Digital, Europe's leading crypto infrastructure provider, is expanding its partnership with DekaBank. Following the successful cooperation in the institutional business, Boerse Stuttgart Digital will also play a central role in the development of a crypto offering for retail customers of the savings banks.

Expanded partnership for retail customers

DekaBank plans to expand its existing crypto offering, which was previously reserved for institutional customers, to the retail market. In future, this will also give private customers of the savings banks easy and secure access to cryptocurrencies. As part of this collaboration, Boerse Stuttgart Digital will provide the necessary liquidity via its institutional brokerage solution, thus ensuring the smooth supply of crypto assets to DekaBank.

Launch of the retail offering next year

The new offering covers the entire value chain, from trading and custody to the front-end solution, and is due to be launched next year. The aim is to offer savings banks a fully integrated and secure crypto infrastructure that can be easily integrated into their systems.

As a partner of DekaBank, we are pleased to enable a crypto offering for the savings banks in the retail segment. Leading financial institutions that want to offer their customers secure access to cryptocurrencies trust us - in Germany and throughout Europe.

Dr. Matthias Voelkel, CEO of the Boerse Stuttgart Group

Easy integration into the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe

Marion Spielmann, COO Banking Business Units & Custodian at DekaBank, emphasizes the importance of the partnership:"With our in-house infrastructure, we secure the largest part of the value chain within the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe. Together with Boerse Stuttgart Digital, we are creating the basis for a smoothly integrated crypto offering in the retail sector."

Boerse Stuttgart Digital and DekaBank have been cooperating on crypto trading for institutional customers since 2024. With the expansion to the retail sector, the partners are deepening their strategic cooperation and jointly positioning themselves as pioneers of a secure and regulated crypto infrastructure for the German market.

New access to a previously untapped group of buyers

The expanded partnership between Boerse Stuttgart Digital and DekaBank is not only a significant step for both institutions, but also for the entire crypto market. For the first time, this opens up a whole new group of buyers: the millions of private customers of the savings banks. At a time when the focus is often on digital banks and neobrokers, it is easy to overlook the fact that the savings banks, with their dense branch network and strong customer loyalty, continue to hold an enormous share of the German retail customer market. The planned retail offering could bring cryptocurrency directly into the everyday lives of a broad section of the population for the first time. Even better if this happens securely, regulated and via a familiar banking infrastructure.
