UniCredit is seeking a technology provider to support infrastructure for digital asset trading, custody and access to tokenized investment products, according to Bloomberg, which cited people familiar with the matter. The report said discussions at the Italian bank remain at an early stage and are focused on several areas: crypto custody, brokerage capabilities, tokenized investment products, and stablecoin-based fixed-income securities. Cointelegraph said it had contacted UniCredit for comment on which provider could fill the infrastructure gap. The report places UniCredit alongside other large banks exploring digital asset rails. U.S. Bank, described as America’s fifth-largest commercial bank, completed a live cross-border payment using its proprietary USBDC stablecoin on Wednesday. Standard Chartered launched spot Bitcoin and Ether trading for institutional clients in the United Arab Emirates on Sept. 3, after previously rolling out digital asset custody services in the region in September 2024. In August, Israel’s largest bank, Leumi, partnered with Galaxy Digital to offer Bitcoin, Ether and Solana trading through its investment platform, with the launch expected in early 2027.

UniCredit SpA, the Italian bank, is considering an expansion of its digital asset-related services, according to Bloomberg. The effort includes early-stage work around digital asset custody and brokerage capabilities. People familiar with the matter said the bank is screening technology providers as it looks to build infrastructure that can hold digital assets and support buying and selling activity. The report indicates the work remains at an early stage, with UniCredit exploring the technology stack needed for those services. The move, as described by Bloomberg, centers on custody and brokerage functions rather than a fully detailed product rollout. No launch timeline, partner names, or financial terms were disclosed in the report cited by ChainCatcher.

Italy’s UniCredit has secured effective control of Germany’s Commerzbank after obtaining a 47.6% economic interest and about 49.65% of the voting rights in the bank, according to Techub, citing CryptoBriefing. The deal matters to digital asset markets because Commerzbank already holds a German full-service banking crypto custody license, which it received in 2023. The bank has also worked with Crypto Finance to provide Bitcoin and Ether custody for clients. The acquisition process began in September 2024, and the offer acceptance period ended on July 8, 2026. Commerzbank management has continued to back its independent “Momentum 2030” strategy. UniCredit, however, has indicated that if the two sides fail to realize synergies, it may move to adjust the board’s composition in January 2027. The development points to continued consolidation in European banking while expanding the channels through which institutions can access digital asset services.
