As 2025 unfolds, we are witnessing an unprecedented acceleration in institutional crypto adoption. Fueled by the Trump Administration's “pro-innovation” stance and regulatory developments like the SEC rescinding SAB 121—which previously required entities to recognize crypto as liabilities on their balance sheets—a true watershed moment has emerged for traditional finance’s entry into digital assets. 

Institutions are no longer asking “if” they should participate in crypto markets but “how” they can do so efficiently while maintaining the same security and protections they are accustomed to in traditional finance. Our strategic partnership with Crossover Markets solves this problem for institutions by recreating a tried and tested model, providing investors with the security and efficiency they need to confidently participate in the crypto markets.

Why this matters

By integrating BitGo Trust Company, Inc.’s qualified custody, clearing and settlement capabilities with Crossover Market’s execution-only ECN, institutions now have access to a model that mirrors the established frameworks of traditional finance while addressing the unique challenges of crypto. Key features of this model include: 

  • Enhanced security: Assets secured in BitGo Trust’s insured, qualified custody throughout the trading, clearing and settlement process, mitigating counterparty risk 

  • Institutional-grade execution: Access to liquidity via CROSSx’s anonymous, ultra-low-latency, quote-driven matching technology, enabling institutions to optimize their trading strategies 

  • True asset fungibility: Trade across multiple trading venues with BitGo Trust as the central counterparty, increasing flexibility and efficiency while removing siloed liquidity constraints

  • Capital efficiency: Reduce fragmented collateral requirements by utilizing centralized clearing, allowing institutions to optimize their capital deployment

As institutions increasingly look beyond exchange-based liquidity, BitGo and Crossover Markets are paving the way by building an open ecosystem where execution efficiency and risk mitigation are at the core of the model. This partnership challenges the status quo and serves as an essential bridge, combining the best aspects of traditional finance with the unique opportunities of crypto.
