Das deutsche Bankensystem hat sich in den letzten Jahren nur langsam den Herausforderungen der Kryptowährungen gestellt. Bedenken bezüglich der Risiken, strenger Vorschriften und des spekulativen Charakters haben die deutschen Banken vorsichtig gemacht. In der Zwischenzeit haben jedoch ausländische Institute wie Bitwala und Trade Republic auf dem deutschen Markt Fuß gefasst und bedienen die wachsende Nachfrage nach Kryptowährungs-Dienstleistungen wie Handel, Verwahrung und Tokenisierung. Der Gedanke, Kryptowährungen in einer traditionellen deutschen Bankfiliale zu handeln, schien undenkbar. Doch nun hat sich das Blatt gewendet.

The German banking system has slowly faced the challenges of cryptocurrencies in recent years. The German banks have made concerns about the risks, strict regulations and speculative character. In the meantime, however, foreign institutes such as Bitwala and Trade Republic have gained a foothold on the German market and serve the growing demand for cryptocurrency services such as trade, storage and tokenization. The idea of ​​acting cryptocurrencies in a traditional German bank branch seemed unthinkable.

But now the sheet has turned. In March 2023, Deutsche Bank started its own crypto trading platform called WP Next and possibly opened the door for an industry of digital assets, which is accessible to all 1,200 German banks and savings banks. This step marks a significant change in the German financial landscape.

But that's not all. The Deutsche Bank Asset Management Group, DWS, which majority belongs to Deutsche Bank, is working with Galaxy Digital to develop stock exchange products for cryptocurrencies on the European market. Regional banks such as Folk Banking and Prince Fugger Privatbank also take part in the crypto revolution. They already offer crypto trade services and even have set up Bitcoin machines.

Neo banks and crypto-fintech companies such as N26 and Trade Republic also benefit from the increasing demand from small investors. These “digital-first” platforms offer a wide range of services that are only slowly offered by traditional banks.

Although the introduction of cryptocurrencies in the German banking sector is not a revolutionary change, it is still a remarkable paradigm shift. The demand for crypto -related services is growing and traditional financial institutions are gradually responding to the changing landscape. The future of cryptocurrencies in German banking looks promising and offers opportunities for innovations and improved financial services for customers.
