BitGos Assets in Custody Surge to $100 Billion in 2025: Crypto Adoption Driven by Regulatory Clarity and Staking Demand
(Bloomberg) -- Crypto custody firm BitGo Inc. has seen its assets under custody surge from $60 billion to $100 billion in the first half of 2025, according to Abel Seow, managing director for Asia-Pacific at the firm.
The jump is attributed to the rising adoption of cryptocurrencies globally, driven by greater regulatory clarity, Seow said. Half of the total assets looked after by the firm are tied to staking, a process that involves investors pledging cryptocurrencies to help validate transactions on blockchains, which in turn helps them earn more tokens.
Founded in 2013, BitGo is one of the largest US-based crypto custodians. The company also allows clients to trade, borrow and lend digital assets. It raised $100 million in 2023 at a $1.75 billion valuation. Past backers of the firm include Goldman Sachs Group Inc., DRW Holdings, Redpoint Ventures and Valor Equity Partners.
BitGo is considering an initial public offering as soon as the second half of this year, Bloomberg News previously reported. An IPO would see BitGo join a number of crypto companies planning to go public after US President Donald Trump embraced the sector. Trump has appointed friendly regulators, pushed dedicated stablecoin legislation and launched his own crypto ventures since returning to the White House.
Bitgo has been expanding overseas in the past year. South Korean firms Hana Financial Group and SK Telecom Co. acquired shares in BitGo Korea in September 2024. Seow said the joint venture has been "progressing well," adding that the company also went live in Dubai earlier in 2025.
