BitGo has created a modular digital asset infrastructure model for banks, combining crypto custody, trading, settlement, staking, and stablecoin infrastructure services into a single offering. The California-based custodian announced the platform this week, aiming to give financial institutions a unified stack instead of stitching together multiple vendors.
What the modular platform includes
The platform wraps five core services into one integrated package. Banks get custody for storing digital assets, trading execution and settlement, staking support for proof-of-stake blockchains, and stablecoin infrastructure for minting or managing fiat-backed tokens. BitGo designed each module to work independently or together, letting banks pick and choose what they need.
Built for traditional banks
The offering targets banks that want to offer crypto products without building their own infrastructure from scratch. Instead of negotiating separate contracts with a custodian, a trading desk, and a stablecoin issuer, a bank can lean on BitGo for all of them. The modular approach also means a bank can start with one service — say, custody — and add trading or staking later without ripping out its existing setup.
The timing comes as more traditional lenders explore digital assets but face operational complexity and vendor risk. BitGo's model tries to reduce both by centralizing the backend.
The platform is available now, the company said.
