Germany’s Sparkassen banking network has begun offering trading in Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Polygon through its digital banking services. Customers can now buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly through the same app they use to manage their bank accounts.
The service began rolling out yesterday and will use trading infrastructure provided by DekaBank , while Börse Stuttgart’s custody division will be responsible for safeguarding the digital assets.

Sparkassen customers will be able to access the supported cryptocurrencies without opening an additional account with a dedicated crypto exchange . The integration brings these assets into the traditional banking services of one of Europe’s largest financial networks .
However, the service will not be immediately available to all customers . Sparkassen will introduce it gradually , with each regional savings bank deciding when to enable cryptocurrency trading for its customers.
For now, Sparkassen has not announced a single date for completing the rollout across all its regional institutions.
