DZ Bank is set to fully integrate digital currencies into its asset management services in collaboration with the digital asset firm Metaco.
According to reports, DZ Bank selected Metaco’s custody platform Harmonize to offer digital currencies to its institutional clients. Nils Christopeit, an executive at DZ Bank, said that the Metaco Harmonize platform fits their requirements in terms of security and scalability.
