BitGo, the digital asset infrastructure company, has deepened its operational support for the Aptos network by expanding custody services, enabling APT staking for institutional clients, and integrating connectivity to Decibel, a decentralized exchange built on Aptos. The custody and staking services now support APT and assets built on the Aptos Digital Asset Standard.
- Services Offered: Custody for APT and Aptos Digital Asset Standard tokens, APT staking for eligible clients, and self-custody wallet connectivity to Decibel DEX
- Market Access: Institutional clients can reach on-chain markets through existing approval workflows without mandatory Decibel connection
- Strategic Position: BitGo has taken a strategic position in APT, the native token of the Aptos network
The announcement represents an expansion of BitGo‘s existing relationship with the Aptos ecosystem. Clients using BitGo self-custody wallets retain the option to connect to Decibel, but the exchange does not manage, operate, control, or custody assets held on the platform.
Institutional adoption tends to follow solid infrastructure. BitGo has been building on Aptos for some time, and we’re excited to see that commitment continue to grow. We look forward to deepening the partnership even more together.
– Michael Ching, Head of Treasury and Operations, Aptos Foundation
Institutions need infrastructure that lets them participate in digital asset networks while maintaining the controls they rely on. Our work with Aptos already spans custody, staking, and connectivity to onchain markets. This is a continuation of the relationship we’ve built together.
