Franklin Templeton Expands Into Crypto with CoinFund Acquisition

ING Deutschland, one of Germany’s largest retail brokers, has opened up new ways for ordinary investors to buy and sell crypto exchange‑traded products (ETPs) through its standard securities accounts. The bank’s Direct Depot now includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana ETPs, as well as crypto index products, all provided by major issuers such as 21Shares, Bitwise, and VanEck, and traded on regulated markets. These ETPs are physically backed, letting clients gain exposure to digital assets without managing wallets or private keys, while relying on familiar banking infrastructure. ING says this move aims to lower barriers to crypto investing while using familiar banking infrastructure.
