Deutsche Boerse’s Clearstream is set to offer cryptocurrency custody and settlement solutions to institutional clients, starting in 2025.
This expansion comes as demand for secure, regulated digital asset services grows.
By April, Clearstream plans to support custody for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) through its Swiss subsidiary, Crypto Finance AG, which Deutsche Boerse took majority control of in 2021.
Clearstream’s services will be available to its extensive client base of over 2,500 institutions, and future plans include adding other cryptocurrencies, as well as services such as staking, lending, and brokerage.
Jens Hachmeister, head of issuer services and new digital markets at Clearstream, emphasized that the goal is to provide an all-encompassing platform for digital asset management, with services spanning custody, trading, and settlement.
This launch comes in line with the broader European regulatory push, particularly following the full implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) in late 2024.
Clearstream’s move also follows closely behind Boerse Stuttgart Digital Custody’s achievement in becoming Germany’s first licensed crypto asset service provider under MiCA, marking another step toward regulated crypto infrastructure across Europe.
