Metaco’s expansion in Europe
Metaco has been expanding its presence all over Europe by partnering with key players within the region. In February 2021, the company collaborated with Germany’s DekaBank to launch a blockchain-based platform expected to be released in 2024.
The token infrastructure provider also partnered with German asset manager DZ Bank to include digital currencies in its asset management services.
In addition, Metaco partnered with Togg, a Turkish automotive technology firm, to secure its auto mobility services powered by smart contracts.
Apart from Europe, Metaco has also extended its arms to Southeast Asia. In November 2020, the company assisted the UnionBank of the Philippines in launching custody and trading services for Ethereum and Bitcoin.
