BitGo Turns Custody Into a Trading Command Center With Link Launch

BitGo launches Link to connect clients to major exchanges

BitGo launched Link on 3 August 2026, a platform that connects institutional clients' external exchange accounts to its custody interface. The tool lets trading and treasury teams manage capital across BitGo and a network of centralized exchanges, including Coinbase, Kraken and Crypto.com. Clients see their total buying power across BitGo and non-BitGo accounts, including sub-accounts held at connected venues. BitGo positioned Link as a single control layer for institutions that spread assets across several exchanges. The company described the product as a command center for treasury and trading, and said it plans to add more venues over time.

Every Link transfer routes through the Policy Engine

Institutional traders often hold assets at several exchanges, each with its own logins, permissions and controls. Link aims to remove that fragmentation by placing those accounts under one interface and one policy set. Every Link transfer passes through BitGo's Policy Engine, the same approval system that protects its wallets today. Admin roles and permissions extend to each connected exchange account, so a single administrator can grant and manage access without repeating setup at every venue. BitGo said clients can move funds in one click to rebalance positions or meet margin needs, with automatic reconciliation against exchange records. Teams keep visibility on each transfer from its start through settlement.

"Link makes BitGo the command center for institutional treasury and trading. One network, no borders: governance travels with the capital, wherever it moves.", 3 August 2026. — Mike Belshe, CEO and Co-founder, BitGo

BitGo oversees more than $100 billion in custody

BitGo held more than $100 billion in assets under custody at the time of the launch. The firm, founded in 2013, built its business on institutional custody before adding trading, settlement and treasury services. Link extends that stack toward capital that sits outside BitGo's own wallets, an area the company had not covered directly before. BitGo said Link and its existing Go Network together form one borderless layer for moving money across trading, treasury and financing workflows. The company plans to add more exchanges and treasury functions to Link in future releases.

Bitcoin trades near $62,800 at time of publication

Bitcoin traded at $62,796 at the time of publication, down 2.73% over the past seven days (CoinPaprika, 3 August 2026). The token sat roughly 50% below the record high it reached in October 2025. That decline matters for BitGo, because the value of its own Bitcoin holdings falls when prices drop. The company had flagged this exposure in its most recent quarterly results.

First-quarter revenue rose as net losses widened

BitGo reported first-quarter revenue of $3.8 billion, up about 112% from the same period a year earlier. Its net loss widened to $60.7 million, from $25.7 million in the prior-year quarter. The company attributed part of the loss to Bitcoin's decline and to one-time costs from its public listing. BitGo went public in January 2026 at $18 per share, and its stock closed at $4.86 on 31 July 2026. In June 2026, the company cut about 15% of its staff to focus on trading, stablecoins and infrastructure. Link arrives as BitGo works to broaden its institutional services after that reset.
