TEN31 chief executive, Matthias von Hauff, said in a statement to the press that with Anquan as a shareholder, the bank will secure a spearhead in the Asian region in the long term. Anquan CEO, Max Kantelia, feels this is a step toward blockchain creeping from the fringes of a technology sector that few understand, into our daily lives. Also, this is the perfect time to collaborate with TEN31 to know and to explore how unlocking the potential of DLT technologies could accelerate digital transformation.
TEN31 has managed to establish its operations by taking advantage of the grandfathering rule of Germany’s banking code. The collaboration will see WEG Bank which is known by the brand name TEN31, providing digital asset custody services for Anquan –with Anqlave offering custody and secure data storage solutions for enterprises. On the other hand, Zilliqa is a high -performance blockchain network for developing enterprise-grade decentralized applications.
Germany’s authorities have been steadily pushing ahead with implementing a regulatory framework for digital assets. Crypto industry participants are looking forward to the upcoming draft bill on virtual currency custody and several other changes this year.
