Bullish, the institutionally focused global digital asset platform, has announced a strategic corporate banking partnership with Deutsche Bank to integrate robust traditional financial services into its digital asset ecosystem.
Under the agreement, Deutsche Bank will provide comprehensive corporate banking services, enabling seamless fiat deposits and withdrawals for clients of Bullish Exchange’s Hong Kong SFC and German BaFin-regulated entities. The collaboration introduces real-time API connectivity, instant payment capabilities, and a virtual accounting solution designed to improve reconciliation and reporting accuracy.
The initiative aims to streamline on-ramp and off-ramp access for institutional clients, bridging traditional banking and digital asset markets. Plans are also underway to extend the service framework to US customers, supporting Bullish’s ongoing global regulatory expansion.
“Partnering with Deutsche Bank marks a significant milestone for Bullish’s banking network and offers greater choice to our customers,” said Chris Tyrer, President of Bullish Exchange. “We are proud to enhance the security and efficiency of our services by providing customers with seamless on-ramp and off-ramp access to Bullish through Deutsche Bank’s fiat payment rails.”
“We actively seek partnerships with organisations that share our commitment to security, transparency, and innovation,” said Kilian Thalhammer, Head of Merchant Solutions at Deutsche Bank. “Our collaboration with Bullish, a globally recognised leader in regulated virtual asset services, reflects our ambition to act as a Global Hausbank for the emerging digital economy.”
Since its launch in November 2021, Bullish has recorded over $1.5 trillion in cumulative trading volume and now averages $2 billion in daily trading volume, ranking among the top ten global exchanges for Bitcoin and Ether spot trading.
The platform holds licenses from multiple top-tier regulators, including the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), BaFin, Hong Kong SFC, and the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission.
