BitGo, una popolare società di custodia di criptovalute e società fiduciaria di asset digitali con sede in California, ha annunciato l'8 giugno che sta prendendo in considerazione l'acquisizione di Prime Trust, fornitore di infrastrutture di asset digitali e fintech, e ha firmato anche una lettera di intenti non vincolante con l'azienda.
Secondo l'ufficiale dichiarazione on June 8, BitGo has signed a term sheet with the parent company of Prime Trust, Prime Core Technologies, Inc., and aims to bring “business continuity, long-term stability, and regulated, secure solutions to valued Prime Trust clients.”
Prime Trust’s Interim CEO and President, Jor Law, noted that “the combination of Prime Trust and BitGo would be a significant enhancement for the industry,” while adding:
“No other company will have the breath of product and services nor depth of experience that this combined company would have. We are excited to offer our world-class infrastructure within a broader ecosystem and revolutionize the future of crypto.”
BitGo also added that the acquisition of 100% of the equity of Prime Trust will make it “the first global digital asset company to provide a full suite of solutions for institutions and fintech platforms.” The crypto custodian will gain additional banking partners and payment rails, crypto IRA, and additional wealth management offerings.
It was also revealed that Prime Trust’s Nevada Trust Company will officially join the custodian’s existing network of trust firms regulated by authorities in South Dakota, New York, Germany, and Switzerland if the deal goes through. The financial details of the deal between BitGo and Prime Trust remain under wraps.
The fintech infrastructure provider’s API infrastructure and exchange network will “map over 1:1” with the services provided by BitGo, including custody, liquidity, settlement, and compliance capabilities.
“With the expected acquisition of Prime Trust, BitGo is well positioned to enhance its best-in-class, trusted solutions and to service the combined customer base,” said Mike Belshe, CEO and Co-Founder of BitGo.
La custodia delle criptovalute sta diventando un servizio popolare tra le società di asset digitali e, come riportato in precedenza da Bitnation, l'azienda dietro la criptovaluta XRP, Ripple, ha annunciato l'acquisizione di Metaco, un custode di asset digitali con sede in Svizzera, per circa $250 milioni.
