Commerzbank seeks regulatory approval 

As per a report by Börsen-Zeitung, a local media outlet, Commerzbank has become the first major bank in the country to enter the crypto market by applying for a crypto custody license earlier this year. If approved, the grant would enable the company to provide exchange services as well as crypto-asset custody and protection.

Notably, as per the new guidelines by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) in Germany, any business which seeks to offer crypto services in the country must obtain a license from the regulatory body. Only four companies have received approval so yet, but BaFin says it has over 25 applications pending from companies interested in operating crypto custody operations.

Commerzbank, which serves more than 18 million customers and has 70,000 institutional clients, aims to target its institutional client base via crypto offering. The banking institution began working on blockchain projects in 2018, and soon completed transactions on a distributed ledger technology with other big banks.

Germany: The most crypto-friendly nation

The crypto adoption in Germany has been a bit slow in the past year but is currently gaining pace after a slight regulatory clearance. A recent report by Coincub reveals that Germany, which ranked fourth last year, has dethroned Singapore to become the most crypto-friendly country in the world. In January, the crypto exchange BitMEX shared its plans to acquire the famous German bank, Bankhaus von der Heydt.

Europe is still lacking a clear set of regulations for the digital asset industry. In February, EU parliamentarians said they want to ban energy-intensive cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. However, the proposal was dropped after an intense discussion and voting by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
