#21Shares Partners With BitGo for Staking and Custody Services


BitGo Holdings and 21Shares have expanded their partnership to include custody and staking infrastructure supporting crypto exchange-traded products for U.S. and European investors. The arrangement announced Thursday provides 21Shares with qualified custody, #trading execution, and integrated staking services.


BitGo will deliver the services through its regulated entities in the U.S. and Europe, including its federally chartered trust bank approved by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The company's MiCA-licensed operations authorized by Germany's

Federal Financial Supervisory Authority will support European #markets.


21Shares, a FalconX subsidiary, manages 59 exchange-traded products listed across 13 exchanges with more than $5.4 billion in #assets under management as of Wednesday. The partnership gives the crypto ETP issuer access to liquidity across electronic and over-the-counter markets.


The expanded agreement comes less than a month after BitGo began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker BTGO. The Palo Alto-based digital asset infrastructure company went public in January as institutional demand for crypto custody solutions continues to grow.


Institutional custody platforms have increasingly embedded #staking services into core offerings as investor demand grows for yield-generating infrastructure. Coinbase expanded its integration with Figment in October, allowing Prime and Custody clients to stake $AVAX, $APT, $SUI, and $SOL directly from custody
