Bullish, a platform for institutional investors in the digital asset space that offers market infrastructure and data services, has teamed up with Deutsche Bank for corporate banking. The firm aims to connect traditional finance with the cryptocurrency sector.
As per the press release, under the agreement, Deutsche Bank will offer a range of banking services to Bullish, focusing on the smooth handling of regular currency deposits and withdrawals for users of Bullish Exchange’s regulated operations in Hong Kong and Germany.
The partnership aims to incorporate features, including real-time reporting via APIs, instant payment capabilities, and a virtual accounting system designed to enhance transaction monitoring. The agreement also outlines intentions to extend these services to new markets, such as the U.S., as Bullish expands its regulatory reach.
Chris Tyrer, President of Bullish Exchange, described the partnership as a key development for the company’s banking framework, noting it will improve customer access to secure and efficient ways to move funds in and out of the platform using Deutsche Bank’s traditional payment systems.
Kilian Thalhammer, Head of Merchant Solutions at Deutsche Bank, emphasized the bank’s focus on collaborating with firms that prioritize safety, openness, and approaches. He further shared, “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 processed over $1.5 trillion in total trading volume. In 2025, the platform managed an average of more than $2 billion in daily trades, securing a spot among the top ten exchanges for spot trading of Bitcoin and Ether.
