Trade settlements will be broadcast once per day, according to the company.
Zane Tackett, director of community and product development at Bitfinex, said:
"This represents the next logical step in ensuring the safety of the bitcoin entrusted to us by our users."
The exchange – which integrated BitGo's multisig technology – recently urged customers to halt deposits following a suspected hack, which is currently being investigated.
When asked if the launch was related to the breach of security, Tackett denied the link, adding that the partnership with BitGo had been in the works for months.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
Lo que debes saber:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Circle’s biggest bear just threw in the towel, but warns the stock is still a crypto roller coaster
Circle’s rising correlation with ether and DeFi exposure drives the re-rating, despite valuation and competition concerns.
Lo que debes saber:
- Compass Point’s Ed Engel upgraded Circle (CRCL) to Neutral from Sell and cut his price target to $60, arguing the stock now trades more as a proxy for crypto markets than as a standalone fintech.
- Engel notes that CRCL’s performance is increasingly tied to the ether and broader crypto cycles, with more than 75% of USDC supply used in DeFi or on exchanges, and the stock is still trading at a rich premium.
- Potential catalysts such as the CLARITY Act and tokenization of U.S. assets could support USDC growth, but Circle faces mounting competition from new stablecoins and bank-issued “deposit coins,” and its revenue may remain closely linked to speculative crypto activity for years.
