Bankhaus Scheich and tradias: More than 80 Cryptocurrencies Tradable in Euros—Largest Offering in the Regulated Market

  • Tradable cryptocurrencies cover key themes alongside Bitcoin and Co: DeFi, Metaverse, and Proof-of-Stake
  • Over 100 crypto/euro pairs planned by the end of 2022
  • 24/7 trading plus availability of the well-known services from traditional exchange trading

Frankfurt/Main, Germany, May 13, 2022: With over 80 pairs available for trading between Cryptocurrencies and the Euro (EUR), Bankhaus Scheich and its FinTech arm tradias offer investors the largest such offering in the regulated market. With their extensive selection and the 24/7 trading, Bankhaus Scheich / tradias are popular partners for neo-brokers and financial platforms, such as Trade Republic and BSDEX, as well as institutional investors.

“We continue to develop our offering. By the end of 2022 investors will be able to trade well over 100 cryptocurrencies against the Euro on our platform. This not only strengthens our position as Europe’s leading regulated OTC platform for cryptocurrency trading, but furthermore expands it,” explains Bjoern Weigel, Head of Digital Assets Bankhaus Scheich.

Already today, the FinTech service provider covers the three current mega topics of the industry beyond trading in the universally known Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC): from the wide range of DeFi protocols, trading with the cryptos Avalanche (AVAX), Aave (AAVE), and Maker (MKR) among others is possible, while exemplary Metaverse currencies are Decentraland (MANA) and Sandbox (SAND). For the “proof-of-stake” trend of earning coins—which is also popular in politics—, Solana (SOL) is representing the long list of cryptocurrencies tradable via Bankhaus Scheich / tradias. Most of the assets can additionally be paired with other FIAT currencies, most notably the US dollar (USD), British pound (GBP), Japanese yen (JPY), and Swiss franc (CHF).

As one of the leading trading houses (specialist) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Bankhaus Scheich offers its institutional customers not only 24/7 trading but also the services they are accustomed to from traditional stock exchange trading, such as classic post trade settlement.

Gridl Asset Management and tradias/Bankhaus Scheich facilitate first investable digital asset on a mutual fund in Germany via a warrant certificate

  • Investors save time and money
  • Financial inclusion is pushed further
  • Proven investment concept now available in digital finance

 Frankfurt am Main, April 12, 2022: As of April 12, 2022, Gridl Asset Management GmbH, Munich, enables investors to invest in the first digital twin of a mutual fund in Germany. Underlying for the investable digital asset (token) is the Gridl Global Macro UI, private and institutional investors receive numerous advantages. The digital twin was issued by tradias Issuance GmbH, Frankfurt am Main, a subsidiary of tradias GmbH.

The world is going digital – and digital assets are becoming a part of our world

For the first time, investors can purchase a certificate that reflects the asset class of a fund in its own digital twin in a regulated market environment. The digital twins on the Gridl Global Macro UI can be obtained by private investors directly via the tradias platform at www.tradias.de. This yields in several advantages for investors:

  • 24/7 trading of the digital twins on the secondary market possible at a later date
  • Same day billing (t=0)
  • No initial charge when purchasing the retail share classes
  • Traditional deposit with a bank is not necessary
  • Independent custody or provision of a customer wallet with tradias possible
  • Trading is also possible for investors from countries outside the EU who previously have not had the opportunity to open a securities account in Germany
  • No tax disadvantage for investors

Manfred Gridl, Managing Director/Owner of Gridl Asset Management GmbH: “With the Digital Twin, we have created the first successful combination of the traditional and the digital fund world in Germany! We have thus taken an important step for the entire fund industry in the future of “digital assets”. Digitally savvy investors now have the opportunity to invest in a digital twin certificate with a mutual fund as the underlying. Interested parties can buy the Digital Twin with just a few clicks on their smartphone! It is important to note that nothing changes in our proven investment concept of the “all-weather investment strategy”: The objective of the Gridl Global Macro UI is still to generate a positive return in the medium term and at the same time avoid major losses – i.e., be ready for all “weather conditions” on the financial markets.”

Nils von Schoenaich-Carolath, Managing Director Digital Assets Bankhaus Scheich and project manager on the part of tradias: “With the first digital twin via a certificate on a mutual fund in Germany, tradias and Bankhaus Scheich validate their innovative pioneering role in the digitization of the German and European financial markets. Investors can now invest in products that were previously not accessible to them, making Germany a more attractive financial center. After the tokenization of real estate and the first corporate convertible bond in accordance with the Electronic Securities Act (eWpG) in Germany, we and our partners are again the first to offer a financial product in a regulated market environment in Germany. The tokenization of a UCITS fund as well as of ETFs, VC investments and art objects will follow shortly. By doing so, we create financial products that everyone can invest directly and cost-effectively, that are more transparent and liquid, and that contribute to the democratization and liberalization of the investment market. As a next step, we will make the security tokens available for trading on our own secondary market platform.”

Frankfurt/Main, June 25, 2021

Bankhaus Scheich Wertpapierspezialist AG, Frankfurt am Main, has in close collaboration with Warsaw’s investmentbank IPOPEMA Securities S.A offered shares in Photon Energy N.V. for the first time. The 5,000,000 shares (treasury shares) were placed with German and Eastern European institutional investors by way of an accelerated bookbuilding following an international, digital roadshow. This cross-border transaction increases the free float from formerly 14.3% to roughly 23% and results in proceeds of roughly EUR 7.5mln which will be used to finance the further growth of the company. Photon Energy intends to increase its proprietary PV-portfolio from currently 74Mwp to more than 600Mwp by 2024. Moreover, strong impulses are to be expected from the proprietary Photon Water Technology (“PWT”), a separate business line of the company’s global activities, aiming to complement solar energy and help face the world’s growing problem of scarce fresh drinking water.

Shares in Photon Energy are traded in the Regulated Market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange as well as the Open Market in Frankfurt and Munich.
