Key Takeaways: 

  • Secure, compliant digital asset infrastructure is mandatory for institutions building at scale. 

  • With integrated trading and financing, and settlement infrastructure(1) built on BitGo’s regulated qualified custody(2) rails, firms can manage risk and improve capital efficiency. 

  • Asset managers, ETF issuers, and institutional investors worldwide trust BitGo to power their digital asset strategies.

Digital asset markets are entering a new era where regulatory clarity and institutional adoption are setting the pace. 

The world has changed. The GENIUS Act has been signed into law, laying the foundation for U.S. leadership in digital assets. Both the SEC and CFTC are now aligned on a pro-innovation regulatory approach, ending years of jurisdictional gridlock. Policymakers are embracing crypto as a strategic priority, signaling that the era of uncertainty is giving way to a framework built for growth.

Institutions are moving from simply owning digital assets to building real strategies, portfolios and products around them. For the longest time, this approach was only available within complex Trad-Fi instruments. But as crypto takes the next step into the future this shift is being accelerated by increased regulatory clarity and broader institutional adoption, as digital assets become a more accepted part of mainstream financial infrastructure. Executing these strategies at scale is easier said than done and they require the correct foundation and tools

In the new era of crypto, you are what you build on. 

For sophisticated traders, asset managers and hedge funds, scale and performance are the competitive edge. Latency, capital efficiency and automation define outcomes for years to come. How capital moves, how risk is managed and how counterparties interact is everything for longevity in this industry. The trade offs of the old crypto industry are starting to fade; speed, security, and compliance, seamlessly integrated, all in one platform is now a reality. 

This is where BitGo comes in: infrastructure that aligns with institutional priorities 

BitGo’s Prime Services offering merges the rigor of traditional finance with the speed and innovation of crypto. With trading, financing, tri-party collateral management and settlement unified on a single, secure platform, institutions have a streamlined, future-proof solution built for the complexity of the digital asset market. BitGo delivers the digital infrastructure and liquidity services that eliminate friction, manage risk and deliver speed without compromise, enabling institutions to engage with digital assets in an enduring and compliant way. 

  • Eliminate friction and latency with direct access to spot, derivatives and OTC liquidity for thousands of coins and tokens, from regulated qualified custody. 

  • Maximize capital efficiency through a collateralized financing program that enables institutions to borrow or lend assets and unlock liquidity while preserving exposure. 

  • Manage risk across complex, multi-party agreements through tri-party collateral management and liquidation services that deliver operational clarity.

  • Manage counterparty risk with seamless, offchain 24/7 settlement via Go Network.

BitGo enables institutions to operate at scale and move with confidence without sacrificing security. 

Beneath the breadth of BitGo’s Prime Services offering lies the regulatory integrity that institutions demand: qualified custody. With BitGo qualified custody, institutions can access segregated, bankruptcy-remote accounts designed to meet regulatory requirements across key jurisdictions. With industry-leading technology, including multi-signature and MPC wallets, and controls to enforce user and spending permissions, BitGo ensures client assets are safeguarded with the highest level of security and governance. BitGo also maintains $250M in insurance to provide institutions with peace of mind as they build their digital asset strategies.
