Bank Federal Germany Is In Collaboration With Bitpanda, Ready To Offer Crypto Assets For Corporate Clients
JAKARTA - Germany's federal bank, Landesbank Baden-W\"urttemberg, officially entered into a partnership with Europe's leading crypto investment platform, Bitpanda. This partnership is aimed at offering federal bank crypto asset custodies services to corporate clients.
This partnership marks an important step in the adoption of crypto assets by traditional financial institutions in Germany. Landesbank Baden-W\"urttemberg, with assets reaching 333 billion euros (Rp5,208 trillion), will utilize Bitpanda's "investing-as-a-service" infrastructure to provide a safe and secure crypto asset custody platform for its clients.
For Bitpanda, this partnership is an important achievement. Founded in 2014, Bitpanda has grown rapidly to become a unicorn with Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) licenses and various crypto licenses in Europe.
