This new service is a significant move, allowing more people to access the world of cryptocurrency through traditional banking channels.<\/p>\n<p>Through a partnership with Crypto Finance, a digital assets broker owned by Deutsche B\u00f6rse, ZKB customers can trade BTC and ETH directly via the bank\u2019s Mobile App and eBanking platforms. This integration marks a major step forward for traditional financial institutions embracing digital assets.<\/p>\n<p>ZKB\u2019s involvement in the crypto space is not new. The bank previously participated in launching the world\u2019s first digital bond on Switzerland\u2019s SIX Digital Exchange (SDX) back in 2021, demonstrating its commitment to innovation in the financial sector.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Secure Storage and Easy Access for Customers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>ZKB\u2019s service provides a layer of security that many users seek in the crypto space. According to Alexandra Scriba, head of institutional clients and multinationals at Z\u00fcrcher Kantonalbank, <em>\u201cZ\u00fcrcher Kantonalbank takes on the critical function of securely storing the private keys. Customers and third-party banks therefore do not need their own wallet and do not have to worry about storing their private keys. Z\u00fcrcher Kantonalbank takes care of both.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, this service extends beyond ZKB itself. Other Swiss banks now have the opportunity to offer cryptocurrency trading to their clients through ZKB\u2019s infrastructure, with Thurgauer Kantonalbank being the first to join as a partner.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
