BitGo Expands Its Role in Institutional Crypto Services
BitGo was launched in 2013 and has grown into a major platform offering custody, trading, settlement, and token management all under one system. The company currently secures over $82 billion in assets and works with more than 5,100 institutional clients in 100 countries.
The firm operates BitGo Trust Company and BitGo National Trust Bank, both regulated in the U.S. It also meets compliance standards across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, helping it serve clients in a range of jurisdictions.
Full-Service Digital Asset Platform for Global Clients
BitGo offers additional services beyond custody, including staking and stablecoin infrastructure. These tools allow banks and other institutions to issue compliant stablecoins using BitGo’s white-label platform.
The company’s track record has remained clean for over a decade. CEO Mike Belshe said, “BitGo’s mission remains to deliver absolute trust to the digital asset ecosystem.” He added that the company’s approach to security, combined with broader market access, is setting a new standard for how capital enters the space.
YZi Labs Grows Its Portfolio of Web3 and AI Projects
YZi Labs, formerly known as Binance Labs, manages more than $10 billion in assets. The firm focuses on early-stage and growth-stage companies in Web3, biotech, and AI. It now operates as an independent fund led by Changpeng Zhao.
The investment in BitGo fits into YZi Labs’ wider strategy of supporting companies building compliant infrastructure. Its portfolio includes over 300 companies from 25 countries, including names such as Polygon, Trust Wallet, CoinMarketCap, and Injective.
