BitGo announced the launch of BitGo Global Markets, an expanded institutional trading and financial services platform designed to support complex digital asset strategies beyond traditional buy-and-hold approaches. The platform consolidates execution, financing, derivatives, collateral management, research, and asset management capabilities, all underpinned by BitGo‘s qualified custody and settlement infrastructure. The business is led by Pete Janney, who joined BitGo from NYDIG following BitGo‘s acquisition of NYDIG’s institutional finance division.
- Core Services: Institutional execution, prime financing, derivatives and structured solutions, collateral management, research, and asset management
- Trading Access: Electronic trading and OTC voice and chat execution with flexible workflows
- Infrastructure Support: Qualified custody, Go Network settlement, and margin monitoring capabilities
- Client Base: Asset managers, hedge funds, trading firms, and other eligible institutional participants
BitGo Global Markets expands the company’s established Prime Services offering to address institutional needs that evolve beyond initial asset acquisition. The platform enables clients to access liquidity without selling assets, secure financing against digital holdings, hedge market exposure, and execute structured transactions. Dedicated coverage teams work directly with clients across trading, financing, derivatives, and structured products to match sophisticated financial solutions with institutional objectives.
Clients who own digital assets need sophisticated solutions that go beyond buy and hold. We work with clients to understand their goals, whether that is putting idle assets to work, hedging exposure, or accessing liquidity without selling, and execute solutions designed to help them manage risk and pursue those objectives.
– Pete Janney, Head of Global Markets, BitGo
BitGo has built a strong foundation across custody, liquidity, trading, financing, and settlement. Global Markets brings these capabilities together with deeper capital markets expertise, allowing us to support more complex institutional strategies and serve a broader range of our clients’ financial needs.
– Mike Belshe, CEO and Co-founder, BitGo
The platform integrates with BitGo‘s digital asset infrastructure, enabling clients to consolidate relationships and streamline operational coordination. BitGo‘s custody infrastructure provides institutional-grade security, while Go Network supports settlement workflows including delivery-versus-payment and off-exchange settlement. Product availability and eligibility vary by jurisdiction, BitGo entity, and client classification. Founded in 2013, BitGo is a digital asset infrastructure company serving thousands of institutions globally through custody, wallets, staking, trading, financing, and settlement services from regulated cold storage.
