BitGo Inc. is pleased to announce support for the token standard on X Layer, becoming the preferred custodian to provide institutional-grade custody infrastructure for assets issued on the network.

This integration enables institutional investors, enterprises, and real-world asset (RWA) issuers building on X Layer to securely custody their assets using BitGo’s custody platform and wallet infrastructure.

As institutional activity across blockchain networks continues to grow, projects increasingly can benefit from infrastructure that meets institutional security and operational standards. By supporting the X Layer token standard, BitGo expands access to a new ecosystem while enabling projects and partners to operate with the protections commonly used by institutional participants.

Institutional Infrastructure for the X Layer Ecosystem

X Layer is designed to support a growing ecosystem of decentralized applications, enterprises, and real-world asset issuers. As adoption expands, institutional partners can benefit from secure infrastructure to manage and safeguard digital assets on the network.

Through this integration, BitGo enables institutional clients and partners within the X Layer ecosystem to:

  • Secure X Layer tokens with institutional-grade custody

  • Manage assets using BitGo’s multi-signature wallet architecture

  • Maintain full operational control through custody and self-custody wallet options

  • Integrate custody directly into institutional treasury and asset management workflows

For enterprises building on X Layer, BitGo’s wallet infrastructure also provides a secure operational layer for managing digital asset transactions and treasury operations.

Supporting Institutional Adoption of Real-World Assets

Real-world assets are becoming an increasingly important use case across blockchain networks. Many of the partners building on X Layer operate in the RWA sector and require trusted custody providers to support institutional participation.

Several RWA partners within the X Layer ecosystem specifically require custody support from BitGo in order to bring institutional capital onchain. With BitGo’s custody solution now available, these projects can securely place their assets under qualified custody while maintaining seamless operational workflows.

The integration also strengthens the broader ecosystem by providing institutions with the security assurances they require when interacting with tokenized assets onchain.

X Layer plans to continue expanding its network of RWA partners and will actively recommend BitGo as the preferred custody solution for projects seeking institutional-grade asset protection.

Flexible Wallet Infrastructure for Builders and Institutions

In addition to qualified custody, BitGo supports the X Layer ecosystem with its wallet infrastructure, allowing projects and institutional participants to operate securely across multiple operational models.

BitGo provides:

  • Qualified Custody for institutional asset protection

  • Self-Custody Hot Wallets for operational use and onchain participation

  • Self-Custody Cold Wallets for long-term treasury storage

This flexible infrastructure allows enterprises, developers, and institutional participants to select the security model that best fits their operational requirements.

Expanding Institutional Access Across New Networks

BitGo continues to expand support for new blockchain networks and token standards to meet the needs of institutional clients and emerging ecosystems.

By becoming the preferred custodian to support the X Layer token standard, BitGo helps unlock access for projects building on the network while strengthening the critical infrastructure for digital asset adoption.

As more enterprises, financial institutions, and tokenized asset platforms enter the ecosystem, BitGo remains committed to providing the custody and wallet infrastructure required to operate securely at scale.
