Fully regulated one-stop-shop for crypto infrastructure

Joint management team of Boerse Stuttgart Digital and tradias planned

Boerse Stuttgart Digital and tradias aim to expand leading European position in the digital and crypto business as a unit of Boerse Stuttgart Group

The leading European crypto infrastructure providers Boerse Stuttgart Digital and tradias plan to merge. Boerse Stuttgart Digital operates the largest crypto business of all European exchange groups, while tradias is a leading European crypto trading firm. The planned merger will create a fully regulated European crypto champion, covering the entire value chain of brokerage, trading, custody, staking, and tokenized assets. The newly formed unit of Boerse Stuttgart Group will include around 300 employees and will operate under a joint management team from Boerse Stuttgart Digital and tradias, with headquarters in Frankfurt and Stuttgart.

With their rapid growth and complementary offerings, Boerse Stuttgart Digital and tradias make an excellent match. Boerse Stuttgart Digital operates a regulated crypto broker, a regulated crypto exchange, and a MiCAR-licensed crypto custodian. Its institutional clients include Italy’s biggest bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, DZ Bank with the cooperative banking group, and DekaBank with its crypto offering for savings banks – the two largest retail banking groups in Germany.

tradias also operates across Europe, has outstanding expertise in trading and market making, and its client portfolio includes leading online brokers as flatexDEGIRO, internationally active neobrokers as Trade Republic, service providers as dwpbank, and government institutions. Boerse Stuttgart Digital and tradias intend to combine their strengths in a one-stop shop for European financial institutions that want to offer their customers secure, fully regulated access to cryptocurrencies or to engage in the crypto market themselves.

“With the planned merger of Boerse Stuttgart Digital and tradias, Boerse Stuttgart Group is driving the development and consolidation of the European crypto market. As a reliable and trusted crypto infrastructure partner, we will serve a significant number of leading financial institutions across Europe. In doing so, we want to set the course for further growth and expand our leading position in the digital and crypto business in Europe,“ says Dr. Matthias Voelkel, CEO of Boerse Stuttgart Group.

Christopher Beck, founder of tradias: “We have built strong growth momentum in recent years. By merging with Boerse Stuttgart Digital, we will take the next logical step in our corporate development.”

Michael Reinhard, CEO of tradias: “Together, we will cover the entire value chain for digital assets and create a new European champion with significantly greater reach, strategic depth, and creative power for further market consolidation.“

The merger is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, subject to the successful conclusion of negotiations and the approval of the supervisory authorities.
