Sparkasse Bank Malta has launched a digital asset offering for institutional and corporate clients, providing regulated access to select markets.
The bank has partnered with Crypto Finance, a Deutsche Börse Group firm, to support the service through its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA)-regulated German entity.
Initially, clients can buy and sell select digital assets, including bitcoin, ether, XRP, Cardano, Solana, Litecoin, Stellar, and Avalanche.
The launch follows Sparkasse’s recent authorisation by the Malta Financial Services Authority under MiCA regulation.
Speaking on the new offering, Paul Mifsud, CEO of Sparkasse Bank Malta, says: “Following our MiCA authorisation, we are now able to provide institutional and corporate clients with trusted access to digital assets through a solution that combines innovation with the standards of security, governance, and client service expected from a bank.”
Crypto Finance Group CEO Stijn Vander Straeten adds: “Welcoming another European bank to our network reflects the growing momentum behind institutional digital asset adoption and the important role regulated trading infrastructure plays in bringing these services to clients.”
To start with, the service will be available to a limited group of clients, with additional expansion guided by demand, regulatory developments, and the bank’s risk management framework.
