Dwpbank launches digital assets platform

Last week, dwpbank launched wpNex, a digital assets platform to support cryptocurrency and crypto-asset trading for its 1200 German banking clients, representing 5.5 million retail customers.

Dwpbank aims to enable its partner banks to offer crypto-assets to end-users. The pilot transaction was for Bitcoin with MLP Banking. Dwpbank’s move into the digital assets space is in line with the trend of traditional financial institutions venturing into the crypto market.

It is planning regulated trading of other digital assets and is collaborating with Bankhaus Scheich/tradias for crypto trade execution and Tangany for digital asset custody. Both providers have BaFin licenses.

Tangany manages a wallet for dwpbank, which in turn provides accounts for retail customers, so they don’t have to hold private keys. The pilot has been in the works since 2021.

Dwpbank has some past blockchain experience. It was involved in finledger, an institutional DLT project for promissory notes led by DZ Bank back in 2019.

DZ Bank also recently unveiled its technology partner for its digital asset custody solution. More recently, dwpbank has been involved in pilots for Deutsche Börse’s D7 digital securities platform.
