Bullish Secures Deutsche Bank Partnership For Institutional Crypto Trading Infrastructure

Bullish, an institutionally focused global digital asset platform, has announced a corporate banking partnership with Deutsche Bank to integrate traditional financial services within the digital asset industry.
 

Through the partnership, Deutsche Bank will provide comprehensive corporate banking services to Bullish, including the facilitation of fiat deposits and withdrawals for customers of Bullish Exchange's Hong Kong SFC and German BaFin-regulated businesses. The setup will include APIs for real-time reporting and instant payments, along with a virtual accounting solution for improved reconciliation rates.
 

The partnership also aims to extend these services to customers in other locations, including the US, as Bullish expands its regulatory footprint.
