Madrid, October 13, 2025.- Boerse Stuttgart Digital, Europe’s leading crypto infrastructure partner, has entered into a strategic alliance with DekaBank to develop a cryptocurrency offering aimed at retail clients of the German savings banks (Sparkassen). Under this alliance, Boerse Stuttgart Digital will provide its institutional crypto-asset brokerage solution, contributing liquidity and brokerage expertise for institutional clients. DekaBank, for its part, will leverage and adapt its existing infrastructure for institutional clients to offer a comprehensive solution for retail customers, covering everything from trading and custody to the front end. This complete offering will be operational starting next year.
From Spain, Joaquín Sastre, Managing Director for Spain and Head of Institutional Business in Europe, highlights the strategic value of this initiative in the context of the new European regulation: “This alliance marks an important step toward the adoption of cryptocurrencies by traditional financial structures across Europe, under the framework of the new European MiCA regulation, which provides the security and trust that investors in Spain value so highly. At the same time, we are seeing some Spanish savings banks begin to explore similar approaches, in line with the digital transformation of the European financial sector and the growing interest in offering regulated crypto products to their retail clients.”
The collaboration between the two institutions is not new. Since 2024, Boerse Stuttgart Digital has been DekaBank’s technology partner in the institutional space. The expansion into the retail segment represents a logical evolution following the initial success. In the words of Dr. Matthias Voelkel, CEO of Boerse Stuttgart Group: “We are proud to support DekaBank in developing a cryptocurrency offering for the German savings banks in the retail segment. Boerse Stuttgart Digital is the leading crypto infrastructure provider in Europe and stands for values that are also key for DekaBank: trust, integrity and professionalism. Europe’s leading financial institutions rely on us to offer their clients secure and simple access to cryptocurrencies,” he states
At DekaBank, Marion Spielmann, COO of Banking & Custody Services, emphasizes the importance of maintaining internal control of the infrastructure: “With our own infrastructure, we ensure the greatest possible control of the value chain within the Savings Banks Finance Group (Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe), and make it as easy as possible for the savings banks to integrate the service. We already work successfully with Boerse Stuttgart Digital in the institutional space, and now we also want to use its services to develop a retail offering.”
