Clearstream Expands Crypto Custody to 6 New Digital Assets | LeapRate
Clearstream, the post-trade services arm of Deutsche Börse Group, said Monday that it has expanded its cryptocurrency custody offering to include six additional digital assets.
The firm has broadened access for institutional clients seeking regulated exposure to a wider range of cryptocurrencies.
The new additions, Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), Stellar (XLM) and Avalanche (AVAX), join Bitcoin and Ether, which were already supported under Clearstream’s fully regulated crypto custody service launched last year.
The service operates using Crypto Finance as sub-custodian, a MiCAR-regulated entity also within the Deutsche Börse Group, ensuring the expanded offering remains compliant with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation framework.
Clearstream said the expansion caters to the “growing importance of MiCA-compliant crypto assets in institutional finance” and is designed to bridge the gap between traditional financial infrastructure and the crypto asset world.
By integrating the new currencies within its established custody infrastructure, Clearstream is positioning itself to meet increasing institutional demand for compliant digital asset services within a trusted, regulated environment.
“This development further broadens client choice in the field of crypto asset integration within established, trusted custody infrastructure, bridging the gap between traditional finance and the crypto asset world,” stated Clearstream.
