Boerse Stuttgart Digital

A new chapter for one of our hubs 🇸🇮 Following our merger, exciting milestones are unfolding across our eight locations. One of them was the move into a brand-new office for our Slovenian colleagues in Ljubljana. We marked the occasion with an evening of great conversations, warm hospitality, and wonderful company. More than just an office celebration, it was an opportunity to appreciate the people and teamwork that have brought us this far. As we reflect on our progress, we’re looking ahead with ambition and a shared vision: building Europe’s number one in digital assets, together. Here’s to new beginnings and the joint journey ahead! #bsdigital #crypto #digitalassets #europe #finance

Institutions meet crypto. We bring the infrastructure. Digital assets are reshaping institutional finance. What matters is the infrastructure they run on. From 27 to 29 October, banks, regulators, and the crypto ecosystem come together at MERGE Madrid. Co-CEO of Boerse Stuttgart Digital Christopher Beck will take part in the panel "The Infrastructure That Makes Tokenization Possible: Exchanges, DLT and Post-Trade". He will speak about what it takes to make tokenization work in practice: how exchanges, DLT and post-trade need to connect so that institutions can issue, trade and settle digital assets with the same reliability they expect from traditional markets.   Roman Schmidt, Lenart Dolžan, Marcelo Moscatelli and Diego Martín Crespo will also be on the ground to connect across the digital asset ecosystem and show how regulated, MiCAR-compliant infrastructure bridges traditional and digital finance. Madrid holds a special place for us: Spain is one of the most active and dynamic markets in Europe, and it reflects how seriously we take the Spanish market and the wider European push for regulated digital asset infrastructure. Would you like to meet and explore how we are building the future of financial infrastructure?

What do banks need to offer digital assets? October, Milan: Italy's leading financial institutions came together in one room to tackle exactly this question. On the sidelines of Forum Banca, The Big Whale hosted an exclusive, interactive cocktail event with banks and digital asset industry leaders. The discussion started from a shared observation: When it comes to digital assets, client demand is no longer the question. The real challenge is making it work: safe custody, full compliance, the right way to reach clients and their trust. Our Country Manager Italy, Luciano Serra, joined the conference and the discussions about the future of #digitalassets. He shared how we support banks from strategy to go-live, and why Italian banks are now moving from first tests to selecting partners and launching real projects. The discussion confirmed what we see every day in our work with banks across Europe: ➡️ Strategy is the first blocker, not regulation. Many banks still need to decide which service to launch first, and for whom. ➡️ Time to market is shorter than expected. With a full-stack partner, banks can go live within four to six months.  ➡️ Customer expectations clearly focus on security, compliance and service quality. This is exactly what we do at Boerse Stuttgart Digital. We enable banks to offer their clients regulated access to crypto directly in their own online banking and app. Our takeaway: The infrastructure is ready. What banks need now is a clear strategy, and the right partner to bring digital assets to their clients. Thank you to The Big Whale and TRM Labs, for a great exchange. #bsdigital #crypto #digitalassets #finance #MiCAR #banking

European banks are no longer asking if they should offer digital assets, but how. That was one of the key takeaways from BANK ACCELERATION 2026, where our Sales Director, Marcelo Moscatelli, joined Fritz W Jost and Jan Lebbe for L'AGEFI’s panel discussion, moderated by Maximilian Vargas from Blockstories. 🟪 The demand is already there. Our survey shows that 25% of European investors have already invested in cryptocurrencies, while 36% plan to invest or reinvest over the next five years. For banks, this represents an opportunity to attract new clients, strengthen existing relationships and respond to evolving client expectations. 🟪 The right infrastructure is key. Banks don't necessarily need to build every capability in-house. Specialized infrastructure partners can help them accelerate implementation, access established expertise and choose the level of modularity that best fits their strategy. Ultimately, successful adoption comes down to trust, regulation, security and simplicity - supported by the right infrastructure and partners. At Boerse Stuttgart Digital, we're enabling financial institutions throughout Europe to provide their clients with easy and reliable access to crypto and digital assets. Thank you to L'AGEFI Events for the opportunity to contribute to this important discussion and for bringing together industry experts to exchange perspectives on the future of digital assets in European banking. #bsdigital #crypto #digitalassets #adoption #finance #blockchain

One Crew. One Course. ⛵️ Last week marked another milestone in our joint journey. For the first time since Boerse Stuttgart Digital and tradias joined forces, we brought our entire leadership team together in person. Our merger comes to life through people connecting, collaborating, and committing to building something bigger together. As the crypto & digital asset powerhouse of Boerse Stuttgart Group, we put our customers first, have all hands on deck, and are now moving faster and stronger than ever. With our joint management team consisting of Dr. Ulli Spankowski, Christopher Beck, Jan Martin Munz, Roman Schmidt, Dennis Winter, and Michael Reinhard, we spent two and a half days fully focused on our strategic vision, our crew, and our course as we build Europe’s number one in digital assets. Thank you to everyone who joined our leadership onsite and contributed to the great spirit as we move forward together as one - building Europe’s digital asset champion. #bsdigital #digitalassets #crypto #onecrew #europeangrowth

Looking back at the European Blockchain Convention 2026 This event once again brought together financial institutions, infrastructure providers, technology innovators, regulators and the wider digital asset ecosystem to discuss the future of the industry. For Boerse Stuttgart Digital, it was a great opportunity to contribute to the conversation and share our perspective on what’s needed to drive the next phase of institutional adoption - as we're building Europe’s leading regulated infrastructure platform for crypto and digital assets. Across our programme contributions, we explored what it takes: Institutional adoption requires robust, trusted and scalable infrastructure. Thank you to everyone who joined the conversations, shared their perspectives and connected with us in Barcelona. It was great to see so many familiar faces and meet new ones along the way. Until next time! #bsdigital #crypto #digitalassets #finance #adoption

Weekly signal: Trust remains a decisive factor in the crypto market 🧭 For Europeans, access to crypto and digital assets is not enough. The credibility and trustworthiness of available offers matter just as much for continued adoption.    The latest European Crypto Compass study by Boerse Stuttgart Digital across Germany, France, Italy and Spain provides the following insights:    💡 For crypto trading, investors are twice as likely to trust their main bank than specialized platforms.  💡 Trust in banks is particularly strong in France (46%), followed by Spain (40%), Germany (38%), and Italy (37%).    European investors place growing importance on trust and reliable and secure access to emerging asset classes. Crypto increasingly shapes how banks attract and retain customers.     Financial institutions must recognize this shift to meet investor expectations in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. #EuropeanCryptoCompass #bsdigital #crypto #digitalassets

Weekly signal: MiCAR boosts investors’ confidence in crypto 🧭    The latest European Crypto Compass study by Boerse Stuttgart Digital across Germany, France, Italy and Spain highlights three clear signals:    💡 Frameworks such as MiCAR are perceived as making the asset class safer and more attractive. 💡 Regulation is strengthening investor confidence, with nearly half of European investors saying that EU regulation increases their trust in digital assets.  💡 Regulatory frameworks are fueling crypto and digital asset adoption across Europe. For financial institutions, these key insights from our study highlight an important development: With MiCAR bringing transparency and legal certainty, investors gain the clarity they expect. Trust and clear regulation are driving the next phase of adoption in Europe. #EuropeanCryptoCompass #bsdigital #crypto #digitalassets #MiCAR
