In an announcement Tuesday, the company said it was seeking approval from the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) to act as a trust in the jurisdiction.

It plans, if approved, to operate as an "independent, regulated qualified" custodian under the state banking law.

BitGo said it was targeting "strong demand" from institutional investors based in New York for secure and regulated storage of large amounts of digital assets.

After July guidance from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency allowing U.S. banks to act as crypto custodians, BitGo said it's expecting a "dramatic increase in market demand for its products and services from banks, pension funds, hedge funds and other fiduciaries."

BitGo Trust Company is already a qualified custodian through the South Dakota Division of Banking.

Spark looks to build building a safe bridge between onchain capital and TradFi

A sparkler held near the top of a bottle of champagne as its cork shoots out.

Spark is opening access to its $9 billion stablecoin liquidity pool for hedge funds and other institutions to bridge onchain capital with off-chain credit markets.

Cosa sapere:

  • Spark has introduced Spark Prime and Spark Institutional Lending to serve hedge funds and other institutional crypto borrowers.
  • The products allow access to more than $9 billion in on-chain stablecoin liquidity while keeping custody and risk controls off-chain.
  • The move targets the much larger $33 billion off-chain crypto lending market, rather than DeFi alone.
