Um popular custodiante de cripto e empresa de confiança de ativos digitais com sede na Califórnia, BitGo, anunciou em 8 de junho que está considerando a aquisição da fintech e provedora de infraestrutura de ativos digitais Prime Trust e também assinou uma carta de intenções não vinculativa com a empresa.
Conforme o oficial declaração 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.
A custódia criptográfica está se tornando um serviço popular entre as empresas de ativos digitais e, conforme relatado anteriormente pela Bitnation, a empresa por trás da criptomoeda XRP, Ripple, anunciou a aquisição da Metaco, uma custodiante de ativos digitais com sede na Suíça, por cerca de $250 milhões.
