DLT Finance is already partnered with big names within the digital asset space, including Kraken, Bitstamp, B2C2, and Bittrex.

DLT Finance has been authorized by BaFin in a milestone move for the digital asset focused financial institution based in Germany offering a range of services including trading, custody and staking.

Catering to B2B clients, DLT Finance now offers a regulated and secure API for digital asset markets following the nine BaFin licenses received by DLT Finance’s subsidiary company.

Based in Berlin and Frankfurt, the fintech company provides banks, brokers, asset managers and crypto exchanges with tailored financial services, from brokerage to custody.

Prime brokerage, DMA, OTC, custody, staking, DeFi, liquidity mining

DLT Finance’s suite of digital asset solutions includes:

– Prime brokerage
– direct market access to a dozen liquidity venues

Assets and services can be managed via DLT Finance’s state-of-the-art API, or through seamless integration with the client’s own dashboard. The unique BaFin licensing arrangement provides an innovative regulatory solution for digital asset markets. DLT Finance’s clients will no longer need their own license, but can trade legally and securely with DLT Finance.

Furthermore, while existing solutions only facilitate closed-end systems, DLT Finance empowers its clients to create an open system in which assets can be directly deposited and withdrawn. These developments will hugely improve access and regulatory cover for digital assets, propelling new actors into the crypto landscape.
