Litecoin’s founder Charlie Lee shed some light on the German bank acquisition. He explained that Litecoin Foundation didn’t pay any money for the stake as it was acquired through a partnership with TokenPay. He also added that he  expected to get a board position in the bank and expand its services to digital assets.

“Best case is that with this bank, we are able to create and deliver crypto solutions like debit cards, merchant processing, and other innovative solutions. However, even with a stake and influence at the bank, it’s not guaranteed that this will succeed. People have brought up valid concerns that we still need to work with and be approved by players in the current financial systems like Visa and SWIFT, but we definitely have a much higher chance of succeeding now that we own a stake in a bank with bank licenses,” he wrote in a Reddit post.
