The launch integrates the offering into the broader FX infrastructure of 360T, expanding Deutsche Börse’s digital asset initiatives.

Previously known as DBDX, the initiative has now been rebranded and folded into 360T to maximize operational, regulatory, and commercial efficiencies, according to a report by Mondo Visione.

Deutsche Bank and Standard Chartered Eye U.S. Crypto Expansion

Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Deutsche Bank and Standard Chartered are preparing to expand their crypto operations in the United States.

Deutsche Bank has already ramped up its global crypto involvement.

In January, it became a key banking partner for Börse Stuttgart’s Bison app, safeguarding users’ euro balances.

It also expanded its services in Asia through a partnership with Crypto.com and is positioning itself as a global fiat-to-crypto facilitator, with plans to replicate this model in the UK and Europe.

Last year, BaFin, Germany’s financial regulator, issued four licenses to Crypto Finance, a firm operated by Deutsche Börse.

Subsequently, in March, the German stock exchange launched a regulated spot platform for crypto assets targeting institutional clients.

At the time, Deutsche Börse said the platform dubbed the Deutsche Börse Digital Exchange (DBDX) would offer a fully regulated ecosystem for the trading, settlement, and custody of crypto assets.

In July, the firm also listed the Bitcoin Macro exchange-traded product (ETP) on the Deutsche Börse Xetra platform.
