In the gray throat of the city, where the machines grind and the crowds breathe in the smoke of commerce, ING Deutschland speaks like a factory bell: here is a doorway for the common man, not into a swamp of rebellion, but into the orderly hallways of a standard securities account. A retail broker of stature, it unfurls a path for ordinary souls to dabble in crypto ETPs without marching into some wild frontier.
The Direct Depot now houses Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana ETPs, and crypto index products, marching alongside the familiar instruments that once sufficed for store clerks and clerks of stores. These ETPs, issued by giants such as 21Shares, Bitwise, and VanEck, are traded on regulated markets, as if order itself could be bought and sold with a stamp. They are physically backed, we are told, allowing walls to be built between you and the private keys while you glimpse exposure to digital wealth through the comforting glass of a bank’s infrastructure.
ING insists the motive is to lower the barriers to crypto investing, to transplant a piece of the future into the soil of familiar banking ground. And one might smile at the irony: the modern dream of lightning-fast fortune now arrives with the cadence of a quarterly report, the glow of a screen replacing the flicker of a candle, the promise of a new world wrapped in the old, safe linens of regulated markets. A joke played by the era itself: you want the digital, but you take it through the vault and the ledger, with humor and sarcasm as your guides.
