【Germany DekaBank Obtains Cryptocurrency Custody License from BaFin and ECB】Golden Finance reports that Germany's DekaBank has obtained a cryptocurrency custody license issued by the country's regulatory authority BaFin and the European Central Bank (ECB). Commerzbank was the first German bank to receive a license last year, and other major banks, including DZ Bank, have yet to obtain one. BaFin has issued an additional 11 cryptocurrency custody licenses, primarily aimed at cryptocurrency companies. One of these is the digital asset custody subsidiary of Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe Privatbank. The distinction between DekaBank and Commerzbank with cryptocurrency companies is that the former is licensed under the Banking Act (KWG). This is the second new license DekaBank has obtained this year. In July, the company received a license as a crypto securities register for issuing DLT-based digital securities in Germany. These crypto securities can be issued without a central securities depository (CSD).
