German savings banks have begun offering Bitcoin trading through DekaBank inside their banking app, according to TheDefiant. DekaBank listed five participating savings banks at launch, while more than 230 others have expressed interest in joining the service. The pricing disclosed on the page sets trading costs at €0.99 per transaction, plus a spread. Withdrawals are not fully open-ended: Bitcoin can only be transferred to approved custodians. TheDefiant’s page also notes that its articles are stored on Filecoin.
