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.

NOW: Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon and Trump's DOJ just made Instacart pay $5 MILLION for rigging its hiring process against American workers in favor of FOREIGN VISA HOLDERS

Americans applying for these jobs had to MAIL in paper applications, while visa workers got to apply online

That ran from December 2023 to February 2026. Instacart now has to pay $4M to the Americans it shut out, plus $1M in penalties, and it'll be under a federal monitor.

This comes after the Trump admin SUSPENDED multiple firms' PERM program access for foreign labor.
