OQ Technology launches MACSAT 2.0 mission

By launching this mission, OQ Technology becomes the first European company to target the Direct-to-Smartphone market using 3GPP-standardised NTN connectivity. Luxembourg-based OQ Technology has announced the signing of a contract and the official launch of its MACSAT 2.0 Direct-To-Smartphone Mission, a satellite communication project aimed at advancing 5G connectivity from space. Supported by the Government of Luxembourg through the LuxIMPULSE programme, led by the Luxembourg Space Agency and technically managed by the European Space Agency, the mission marks a major step forward in non-terrestrial networks. Building on the success of the original MACSAT 1.0 In-Orbit-Demo and NB-IoT technology developed by OQ, MACSAT 2.0 aims to develop 5G New Radio (NR) non-terrestrial network (NTN) direct-to-mobile communications in different bands with flexible beams. This technology will enable SMS and emergency broadcasting capabilities in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for global connectivity. With MACSAT 2.0, OQ Technology becomes the first European company to address the Direct-to-Smartphone market for 3GPP standardised Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) connectivity, which is currently addressed mainly by US satellite companies. This places OQ Technology in a strategic position to enhance Luxembourg and the European connectivity infrastructure independence and resilience in space. This achievement enables OQ Technology to be at the forefront of European public and government initiatives, including IRIS². The Direct-To-Smartphone connectivity has gained recently a lot of attention in the defense sector with governments investing heavily in advancing resilient and secure cellular coverage over satellites in the battlefield, in addition to providing reliable communication during disasters for first-responders and communities. Omar Qaise, CEO of OQ Technology, commented: 'The MACSAT 2.0 mission represents a major milestone in satellite based 5G connectivity, solidifying OQ Technology's position as a European pioneer in non-terrestrial 5G. By demonstrating direct-to-mobile capabilities in Low Earth Orbit, we are paving the way for ubiquitous global communications that can transform how people and devices connect. We are honored to be leading this collaborative effort with the Luxembourg Space Agency and European Space Agency.' 'Luxembourg has been a frontrunner in satellite communication since the 80’s. Direct to device, and direct to mobile communication represent a fantastic development, and have the potential to significantly impact our lives. We are looking forward to the MACSAT 2.0 mission and its developments,' said the Minister of the Economy, Lex Delles. The MACSAT 2.0 IOD Mission represents a collaborative effort between industry and government, showcasing Luxembourg's commitment to space technology innovation and OQ Technology's leadership in satellite based 5G solutions.

Deutsche Bank Eyes Major Leap into Digital Asset Custody

Deutsche Bank is set to roll out a digital assets custody service in 2026, joining forces with Bitpanda Technology Solutions and deepening its existing alliance with Swiss fintech Taurus SA. Aimed at institutional and corporate clients, the bank's custody offering is built on two pillars: custody and tokenisation capabilities powered by Taurus SA, and the digital infrastructure from Bitpanda's technology arm. Taurus has been the backbone of Deutsche Bank's digital asset efforts since 2023, and the integration with Bitpanda is expected to significantly expand operational capacity. Inside sources familiar with the initiative confirm that launch preparations are already underway, with a projected go-live in early 2026. The move reflects Deutsche Bank's view that tokenised assets could become a fundamental component of the financial ecosystem, aligning with growing projections that this market could reach hundreds of billions by the end of the decade. ADVERTISEMENT Taurus SA—positioned as a leader in digital asset infrastructure—provides enterprise-grade cold, warm and hot custody solutions, along with tokenisation services that Deutsche Bank will leverage. As noted by Taurus co‑founder Lamine Brahimi in 2023, the match between the Swiss firm's infrastructure and Deutsche Bank's scale was a critical factor in formalising their initial partnership. Meanwhile, Bitpanda's technology unit will contribute real‑time, scalable digital asset operations. The Vienna‑based firm, which supports more than 4 million users across Europe, already offers regulated trading and custody services for cryptocurrencies, stocks, ETFs and commodities. Deutsche Bank's adoption of Bitpanda's tech could enable graduated access to a broader swathe of tokenised assets for its clients. The partnership builds on Deutsche Bank's cautious but steady progression into the digital asset landscape. Already serving as the banking partner for Bitpanda's German IBAN services—and integrating Bitpanda's platform for retail payments—Deutsche Bank has maintained a conservative stance, ensuring compliance and risk protocols are robust. According to Ole Matthiessen, global head of cash management, the bank only engages with well‑regulated platforms that meet strict compliance standards. Deutsche Bank's ambitions extend beyond custody. It is exploring stablecoins, tokenised deposits, and potential issuance, reflecting a broader strategy to anchor its digital asset business across the value chain. The bank's head of digital assets, Sabih Behzad, highlighted the options ranging from reserve management to issuing stablecoins, whether solo or in consortiums. Industry insiders point to looming regulatory clarity—particularly in Europe under MiCA and in the U.S.—as a driving force behind institutional adoption. PwC projects that tokenised assets could swell from around $40 billion today to over $317 billion by 2028, reflecting an appetite for innovation tempered by oversight. Deutsche Bank's strategy appears calibrated: building momentum in custody while evaluating tokenised product launches. This dual approach affords adaptability with measured risk—a model that mirrors its cautious adoption of Bitpanda's IBAN service and Taurus custody tech. Analysts suggest that established banking institutions will need to offer multi-custodial and tokenisation services if they are to remain relevant in a changing market. As global custodians like BNY and JP Morgan enhance real‑time asset transfer and tokenised solutions, Deutsche Bank's 2026 launch will position it alongside peers seeking to modernise legacy models. Deutsche Bank's custody initiative arrives at a pivotal time. Regulatory frameworks for digital assets are crystallising, and institutional allocations to tokenised securities and stablecoins are gaining traction. Completion of the Bitpanda‑Taurus integration will be a critical milestone, forming the technological foundation of the service. With momentum gathering, competition is intensifying. Other major banks—such as Banco Santander—are also evaluating stablecoins and custody offerings. At the same time, fintech stand‑alone firms are aggressively scaling in tokenised markets. Yet Deutsche Bank brings two powerful advantages: it merges legacy banking infrastructure with cutting‑edge digital asset platforms and does so through meticulously selected partnerships. If its 2026 custody service delivers on promised security, compliance and efficiency, it could redefine institutional trust in the tokenised era.
