BitGo Launches Unified Digital Asset Financing Platform With Portfolio-Based Financing and On-Platform Lending

Key Terms

collateralized borrowing financial

A loan secured by specific assets that the borrower pledges as backup if they cannot repay; think of it like using a valuable item as collateral at a pawnshop or a house mortgage. For investors, collateralized borrowing matters because it lets companies or funds raise cash more cheaply and take on more risk, but it also increases the chance that pledged assets will be seized or sold in stressed markets, which can affect valuations, liquidity and investor returns.

stablecoins financial

Stablecoins are a type of digital currency designed to maintain a steady value, often linked to traditional currencies like the dollar or euro. They function like digital cash that offers the convenience of online transactions while avoiding the large price swings common with other cryptocurrencies. This stability makes them useful for investors and users who want a reliable way to store and transfer value without exposure to sudden market changes.

staked positions financial

Staked positions are assets that an investor has locked up to support a blockchain network or protocol in exchange for rewards, similar to putting money in a high-yield savings account but with the funds temporarily immobilized. For investors this matters because staking can generate regular income and voting influence, but it also reduces liquidity, can expose holders to technical or platform risk, and may impose lock-up periods that affect the ability to sell quickly.

locked tokens financial

Locked tokens are digital assets that cannot be moved, sold, or traded for a set period or until certain conditions are met, usually enforced by code or an escrow arrangement on the blockchain. For investors this matters because locked tokens temporarily reduce the number of tokens available for trading—like money sealed in a time-locked jar—and their scheduled release can change supply, affect price pressure, and signal commitment or potential dilution when they become spendable.

custody wallet financial

A custody wallet is a service or account where a third party holds and manages the access credentials for someone’s digital assets, like cryptocurrencies, on their behalf. It matters to investors because it trades personal control for convenience and often added professional security, similar to using a bank safe-deposit box instead of keeping a key at home; that choice affects custody risk, regulatory protections, insurance options and how quickly assets can be moved or sold.

smart contract risk technical

Smart contract risk is the chance that self-executing code on a blockchain contains bugs, design flaws, or vulnerabilities that lead to lost, frozen, or stolen assets or unintended behavior. Like a vending machine that follows its internal instructions exactly, a faulty smart contract can permanently dispense the wrong product or keep your money; investors face potential financial loss, sudden value changes, and legal or recovery limits because the code often cannot be easily changed.

New offering combines high-touch institutional service with streamlined on-platform borrowing and lending across liquid assets, locked tokens, staked positions, and diversified portfolios

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BitGo Prime, LLC (“BitGo Prime”), a subsidiary of BitGo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BTGO) (“BitGo”), today announced the launch of a unified, on-platform financing offering designed to give institutions collateralized borrowing and lending capabilities integrated within BitGo’s institutional platform.

As institutional participation in digital assets has grown, financing infrastructure has often remained fragmented - requiring multiple counterparties, manual processes, and collateral movements across venues. BitGo Prime’s financing platform is designed to address that complexity by bringing borrowing, lending, collateral management, and monitoring into a single workflow.

The offering is designed to give clients the best of both worlds: high-touch, white-glove service for more complex financing arrangements, combined with an intuitive platform experience for managing day-to-day activity. Whether clients are seeking straight-forward crypto-backed loans or more bespoke structures against locked tokens or staked positions, BitGo Prime supports financing solutions built around how institutions actually operate - without forcing portfolios to conform to rigid loan models.

BitGo Prime supports crypto-backed loans against eligible assets, including BTC, ETH, SOL, stablecoins, and other supported tokens, all subject to applicable terms, risk parameters and desk eligibility. The platform supports financing arrangements collateralized by certain locked tokens and staked positions held in segregated wallets. Clients can track and manage these positions directly within the BitGo platform, supporting transparency and operational control while preserving staking activity and long-term allocation strategies, subject to product terms and availability.

“Institutional clients want digital asset financing that works the way they manage capital and risk in practice - not as a collection of siloed products,” said Mike Belshe, CEO and Co-founder of BitGo. “With BitGo Prime, we are delivering a platform that meets institutional standards without requiring clients to restructure their portfolios to access capital. That’s a meaningful shift for the industry.”

Additionally, BitGo offers portfolio-based financing that may be established based on risk-based collateral parameters across supported assets held in a client’s Go Account, a multi-asset regulated custody wallet. This structure is designed to support cross-asset management and more flexible liquidity access as portfolio composition changes over time.

Beyond borrowing, clients can lend certain eligible assets to BitGo Prime as part of a broader treasury and capital strategies, subject to eligibility requirements and the applicable lending terms.

“For institutional clients, the differentiators are clear: multiple financing options, a white-glove service model for more complex structures, and a controlled framework without third-party or smart contract risk,” said Adam Sporn, Head of Prime Brokerage and Institutional Sales at BitGo. “We’ve built this offering to pair responsive, high-touch support from our team with an on-platform experience that makes financing easy to manage. That combination of flexibility, service, and control is what institutions have been missing in digital asset markets."

Financing and lending are now accessible through on-platform workflows, with management, monitoring, and structured risk processes designed for institutional use. Funds may be deployed for trading through BitGo’s trading entities or allocated toward working capital and strategic liquidity needs.
