German savings banks (Sparkassen) have started offering Bitcoin trading through DekaBank directly inside their banking apps, with five banks live and more than 230 expressing interest. Trades cost €0.99 plus a spread, and withdrawals are restricted to approved custodians. The move opens a large retail banking channel to BTC in Europe's biggest economy, a modest but meaningful adoption signal that could support demand and sentiment.
