Sparkassen crypto trading launch (19 October 2026)
Germany’s Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe (Europe’s largest savings-bank network, ~340 institutions, ~50 million retail customers) has started offering crypto trading in the Sparkasse app.
Rollout: Staggered, not nationwide. First banks live today. Each Sparkasse decides when to activate. 30–40 more expected monthly; large share of interested ones targeted by H1 2027. >230 have signaled interest.
Assets: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Polygon.
Product: “Krypto – powered by Deka” (via DekaBank). Execution-only (no advice). Open a crypto account in the app; requires a participating Sparkasse current account.
Fees: €0.99 flat per order + unquantified DekaBank spread. Custody free. Max order €250,000.
Custody: Fully bank-custodied (omnibus wallet; keys held by DekaBank). Withdrawals only to approved CASP wallets — not to personal hardware wallets.
Context: Shift after earlier resistance, driven by customer demand, competition (neobanks, Volksbanken’s meinKrypto), and MiCA rules. Institutions still warn of high volatility and total-loss risk.
Convenient regulated access for mainstream retail customers; not self-custody.
