BitGo Expands Canton Coin Services with Trading Integration

BitGo, a leading U.S.-regulated digital asset infrastructure provider, announced on Monday an expansion of its services for Canton Coin, integrating trading and settlement capabilities with its existing custody offerings. This move positions the company as one of the first in the nation to deliver a unified platform for institutional clients handling the token, which powers the Canton Network, a blockchain designed for regulated financial markets.

The enhancement builds on custody services BitGo introduced in October, allowing institutions to store Canton Coin in insured cold storage. Now, clients can access electronic trading through APIs and a user interface, execute over-the-counter spot and derivatives trades via BitGo's desk, and settle transactions instantly on the Canton Network around the clock. This on-chain settlement eliminates delays common in traditional systems and reduces the need for prefunding, streamlining operations for users. Adam Sporn, BitGo's head of prime brokerage and institutional sales, stated that the integrated workflow enables institutions to "move capital more efficiently, reducing operational burden and prefunding risk."
