Deutsche Bank is exploring the possibility of offering tokenized deposits and is considering launching a stablecoin, according to a recent interview with the bank’s head of digital assets and currencies transformation. The bank has not made any public announcements yet, but is evaluating its role in the growing digital currency market.
Sabih Behzad, who leads the digital assets strategy at Deutsche Bank, explained that banks can enter the stablecoin space in several ways. They may act as reserve managers or develop digital currencies on their own or through industry groups. He noted that the bank remains undecided on whether to proceed with an internal project or join collaborative efforts.
Behzad stated that “banks have several entry points into the stablecoin market, from acting as reserve managers to developing digital currencies, independently or with others.” For example, Deutsche Bank took part in tests with UBS last year and remains involved in ongoing experiments with tokenized deposits.
The bank has joined other global institutions, including Citi, HSBC, JP Morgan, and UBS, which have rolled out single-bank tokenized deposit solutions. Deutsche Bank also works with partners on the Partior cross-border payments platform, collaborating with DBS, JP Morgan, and Standard Chartered. In Germany, it participates in the commercial bank money token initiative, a multi-bank project focused on tokenized deposits.
Additionally, the bank’s asset management division, DWS, is involved in the AllUnity stablecoin joint venture with Galaxy Digital and Flow Traders. This move gives Deutsche Bank a direct link to stablecoin development.
Across the financial sector, more institutions are moving into stablecoins. Société Générale’s FORGE became the first major subsidiary to enter the area, while Santander and Standard Chartered have also revealed stablecoin development plans. Some U.S. banks are discussing the possibility of a joint initiative.
Through its work and partnerships, Deutsche Bank continues to expand its presence in the digital asset industry and build on its existing ties to cryptocurrency firms.
