Germany’s Sparkassen Start Crypto Trading in its Banking App at €0.99 per Order

Germany's Sparkassen savings banks are rolling out crypto trading directly inside their banking app, charging a flat €0.99 per order. The fee is only part of the cost, since each Deka quote carries an undisclosed spread on top. The move matters because it brings crypto access to a large base of mainstream retail bank customers in Europe's biggest economy, a meaningful adoption signal even though the hidden spread could dampen enthusiasm.
