Germany's DZ Bank, the country's second-largest financial institution, just secured MiCAR regulatory approval to roll out its cryptocurrency platform meinKrypto. The platform kicks off with core digital assets: Bitcoin and Ethereum for the major players, complemented by Litecoin and Cardano for portfolio diversification. This marks a significant step in traditional banking's formal entry into regulated crypto markets across Europe, signaling institutional confidence in compliant market participation.

Traditional banks are finally taking it seriously. DZ Bank's move is considered solid, following a compliant approach under the MiCAR framework.

ngl this is the institutional endgame we've been pricing in... but btc + eth only hitting mainnet while litecoin tags along? fee optimization could've been their lead narrative tbh

Traditional banks can no longer hold on, and Germany's second-largest is also entering the market. Now European institutionalization is truly coming.

NGL, I didn't expect the big German banks to get involved so quickly. As soon as MiCAR passed, they went live with BTC and ETH. The pace... is quite something.

Traditional banks have finally officially entered the scene, still under the European regulatory framework. Now retail investors will have to compete with institutions for liquidity.
