Challenge
With Boerse Stuttgart Digital, Boerse Stuttgart Group has built the largest digital business of all European exchange groups, offering fully regulated, institutional-grade crypto trading and custody solutions. With MiCAR regulation already in force and growing demand from banks, brokers, and asset managers, their infrastructure is established on three pillars: security, compliance, and scalability.
Providing easy and reliable access to crypto for financial institutions and their clients, Boerse Stuttgart Digital required an enterprise solution that could:
- Rapidly integrate with new protocols
- Offer granular policy configuration
- Support evolving staking and DeFi needs
- Scale with minimal disruption to internal systems
- Align with stringent German and EU regulatory requirements
Solution
Boerse Stuttgart Digital chose Fireblocks to enhance its digital asset custody capabilities, MPC-based architecture, and compliance readiness. Unlike legacy providers, Fireblocks offered the flexibility and performance needed to scale—and the infrastructure to stay ahead of regulatory scrutiny.
Fireblocks’ API-first platform enabled the team to:
- Customize client workflows using programmable transaction policies
- Integrate new tokens and blockchains quickly with minimal engineering lift
- Include a secure MPC custody infrastructure on top of its existing in-house cold storage
- Operate confidently in a hybrid custody model
- Scale regulated crypto services across France, Spain, and Italy with reduced operational risk
Throughout multiple audit cycles, the Fireblocks team provided direct access to technical specialists, helping reduce both time and cost.
Results
With Fireblocks as one of their partners, Boerse Stuttgart Digital has built a modular one-stop-shop for institutional-grade trading and custody solutions. They enable financial institutions throughout Europe to provide their clients with easy and reliable access to crypto while maintaining operational agility, fast time-to-market, and MiCAR-compliance.
Fireblocks continues to support Boerse Stuttgart Group’s digital business, offering MiCAR-compliant crypto trading and custody solutions for institutional clients.
