Deutsche Bank’s services extend beyond traditional banking for crypto companies. They offer a range of solutions, including fiat-to-crypto exchange and cross-border trading services.

The German bank also expressed interest in forging similar partnerships in the United Kingdom and other European countries.

Additionally, Deutsche Bank is reportedly developing its own Layer-2 blockchain solution on Ethereum using ZKsync technology. This L2 solution, part of Project Dama 2, aims to address the regulatory and compliance challenges associated with utilizing public blockchains in regulated financial services.

Project Dama 2 is part of the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) Project Guardian, an initiative bringing together 24 financial institutions to explore the potential of blockchain-based asset tokenization.
