In a statement, the DSGV warned that crypto remains a "highly speculative" area. There will be no advertising for the service, and customers will be informed about the risks, including the chance of losing their entire investment.
Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe includes more than 370 local banks and about 500 companies in total. Together, they manage assets worth over €2.5 trillion, or roughly $2.9 trillion.
