Crypto’s New Power Couple: EDX Markets and BitGo Join Forces!

by

In the grand theater of finance, where the shadows of giants loom large, EDX Markets, a cryptocurrency exchange cradled by the mighty arms of Citadel Securities, Charles Schwab, and Fidelity, has unveiled a partnership with the digital asset infrastructure firm, BitGo. This union aims to hasten the institutional embrace of crypto, as if it were a long-lost child returning home after a wild escapade! 🎉

With this partnership, the venture capital-backed EDX Markets will weave BitGo’s settlement layer, the Go Network, into its very fabric, allowing for the instantaneous settlement of digital assets and fiat. Imagine a world where trading is as swift as a wink, and exposure to the exchange is reduced like a bad habit! 😏

Meanwhile, EDX’s deep liquidity will flow like a river into BitGo’s pool, as BitGo Prime takes its place among the esteemed members of EDX Markets. It’s a liquidity party, and everyone’s invited! 🥳

Infrastructure and regulatory compliance, the twin pillars of this collaboration, are touted as the keys to unlocking the doors of traditional finance for digital assets. The firms proclaim their mission to pave a smooth path for exploration, free from the boulders that have long hindered progress. Who knew finance could be so accommodating? 🤔

Tony Acuña-Rohter, the chief executive officer of EDX Markets, declared with the fervor of a prophet:

“By integrating BitGo’s qualified custody infrastructure into our clearing and settlement framework, we are addressing the need for robust mitigation structures, which will further advance our mission of creating a secure and efficient trading environment that attracts more institutional participants.”

Mike Belshe, co-founder and chief executive of BitGo, chimed in with the wisdom of a sage:

“As the digital asset industry continues to mature, partnerships like ours bridge the gap between TradFi and crypto, driving increased participation and long-term growth in the space.”

BitGo, ever the industrious bee, has recently struck multiple partnerships and expanded its services with new product launches, including a global over-the-counter trading desk and an off-exchange settlement on the derivatives exchange, Deribit. This latter venture is a collaboration with the custody provider, Copper. Talk about a busy bee! 🐝

Beyond custody, BitGo’s digital asset solutions encompass staking, trading, wallet services, digital asset financing, and crypto settlement. It’s like a buffet of financial delights! 🍽️

In a bold move to democratize access to alternative investments, BitGo has also announced a key partnership with the New York-based investment platform, Republic, bringing products once reserved for the elite to the eager hands of the masses. Who says finance is only for the privileged? 😄
