Crypto custody is the secure storage and management of private keys that prove ownership of digital assets such as BTC and allow people to move them on a blockchain.

Deutsche Bank is launching its crypto custody service as institutions and corporate clients adopt a growing number of digital assets, notably stablecoins that are used for digital payments.

Institutions and corporations are likely to prefer custody services from financial institutions such as Deutsche Bank that they already have a relationship with and use for traditional finance.
