BitGo Rolls Out an OTC Trading Desk for Institutions

BitGo has announced the launch of its extensive OTC trading desk. Having operated in stealth mode since early 2024, the platform has already processed billions in trading volume and developed a lending portfolio exceeding $150 million, serving top asset managers.

The global OTC trading desk, led by Matt Ballensweig from Genesis and Bridgewater and Stefan Von Haenisch from OSL Group, operates around the clock to accommodate clients in all major time zones.

The desk offers seamless spot and derivatives trading across more than 250 assets and provides lending services and yield-generating products, all integrated with BitGo’s regulated qualified custody.

Client assets remain securely insured under qualified custody with BitGo’s regulated entities worldwide while efficiently utilizing BitGo’s OTC services.

The significant increase in demand since launch underscores strong institutional interest in customized trading solutions that are integrated with qualified custody.
