Creation of a Fully Regulated Crypto Leader
An interdisciplinary team from BDO AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft (BDO) provided Tradias GmbH (Tradias) with comprehensive advice on all strategic, financial, tax, and transaction-related aspects of its merger with Boerse Stuttgart Digital, the digital subsidiary of the Boerse Stuttgart Group.
With the signing of the transaction documentation, the parties are combining their respective expertise in institutional crypto trading and regulated market infrastructure. The central goal of this forward-looking merger is to further strengthen the European market position in the digital assets sector and expand the fully regulated offering.
Tradias is a leading European crypto trading firm specializing in the trading and market making of digital assets. Boerse Stuttgart Digital is a leading, fully regulated crypto infrastructure provider covering the entire value chain of trading, custody, staking, and tokenized assets in Europe.
With their complementary offerings, Tradias and Boerse Stuttgart Digital complement each other perfectly. Boerse Stuttgart Digital operates a regulated crypto broker, a regulated crypto exchange, and a MiCAR-licensed crypto custodian. Institutional clients include DZ Bank with its cooperative financial group and DekaBank with its crypto offering for the savings banks—the two largest retail banking groups in Germany. Tradias is also active across Europe and brings a client portfolio that includes internationally active neobrokers such as Trade Republic as well as government institutions.
In the future, Tradias and Boerse Stuttgart Digital plan to combine their strengths into a “one-stop shop” for European financial institutions that want to offer their clients secure and fully regulated access to cryptocurrencies or wish to be active in the crypto market themselves.
