German Securities Giant Launches wpNex Platform Allowing Over 1,200 Banks to Offer Bitcoin Trading to Retail Clients

Cointime Official

The German securities processing giant, Deutsche WertpapierService Bank AG (dwpbank), which oversees more than 5.3 million securities accounts, has unveiled its latest platform called wpNex. This platform will enable more than 1,200 associated banks to provide Bitcoin (BTC) trading services to their retail clients.

According to the press release, with the wpNex platform, users can easily integrate cryptocurrency trading into their online banking experience. The platform allows customers to view their cryptocurrency holdings alongside their conventional securities, without the need for pre-funding.

Patrick Hansen, EU Strategy and Policy Director at Circle, a crypto-focused company behind the USDC stablecoin, said the move is ‘great news for Bitcoin’s adoption’.

"Just as with securities, the current fiat account at the bank can also be used for clearing, so no pre-funding is necessary. Accordingly, bank customers no longer have to go through an additional verification when opening their btc/crypto account." Hansen added.
