A new era of exchange access

Some of the industry's biggest lessons have often come at the cost of security. Billions in lost assets across various market events have exposed just how critical custody separation and risk controls are for investors, particularly institutions. In traditional finance, the separation of trading and custody is a cornerstone of investor protection.

Crypto is now maturing to adopt these same principles with BitGo Singapore Pte. Ltd. (BitGo Singapore) and HTX, a pioneer in global digital asset trading, leading the way.

Introducing HTX on Go Network Off-Exchange Settlement (OES)

BitGo Singapore and HTX have partnered to offer deep exchange liquidity without compromising on security or control. With HTX joining Go Network OES, institutional investors now have the ability to(1):

  • Allocate capital to HTX for trading without ever moving assets on-exchange, reducing counterparty risk and increasing capital efficiency

  • Secure assets with BitGo Singapore (licensed as a Major Payment Institution by the Monetary Authority of Singapore) in regulated cold custody and insured up to $250M

  • Achieve operational clarity with automated post-trade settlement within regulated custody rails, reducing manual friction and potential for error

  • Maintain full control over their assets and trading strategy

This model offers clear roles, reduced counterparty and assets commingling risks and greater operational efficiency for all participants, fostering a more resilient and trustworthy trading environment.

Smarter structure, lower risk

Go Network OES brings proven traditional finance principles-the separation of trading and custody-to crypto where regulated custodians hold assets independently of trading venues. This ensures assets remain secure and insulated from counterparty risk. The partnership between BitGo Singapore and HTX enhances the institutional investors' experience, enabling safe, compliant access to digital assets without compromising performance or control.

"Our partnership with HTX on Go Network OES represents a significant step forward in bringing institutional-grade markets structure to digital assets. We're mitigating counterparty risk and fostering a more mature, resilient crypto ecosystem," commented Brett Reeves, Head of Go Network at BitGo.

"At HTX, security and trust are non-negotiable," said Justin Sun, Advisor to HTX. "By integrating BitGo's Go Network, we're setting a new standard for institutional-grade trading. We are excited to collaborate with BitGo to deliver a next-level trading experience that prioritizes user protection and operational excellence."
