Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest bank, plans to start offering crypto custody services in its home market, according to a report by Cointelegraph published on Oct 16, 2026. The report says the bank then intends to bring the same services to financial centers in Asia in 2027.
The reason given for the move is the growth of the digital asset economy. The story was written by staff writer Zoltan Vardai and edited by Yohan Yun. It is a report, and the text does not quote any statement from the bank.
Several details are still missing. The report gives no launch date for Germany. It does not say which Asian financial centers are planned, which digital assets would be covered, or which clients the service is for.
For someone already holding a perpetual position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, the honest answer is nothing directly. The report covers a bank holding digital assets for clients, not derivatives trading, so it says nothing about funding rates, trading fees or order book liquidity on these exchanges.
