Germany's Sparkassen banks launch crypto trading in app

Germany's savings banks have rolled out crypto trading in the Sparkasse app, letting customers buy Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP and POL from €0.99. Orders run through DekaBank, whose withdrawal whitelist blocks transfers to self-custody wallets, and users face fees plus a spread on each trade. Commentators are weighing what this means for mainstream adoption and whether customers truly control their coins.

Why now: A major retail banking network has opened crypto access to tens of millions of customers, raising questions about fees, custody and adoption.
