HTX Partners with BitGo Singapore for Enhanced Institutional Trading Security

HTX, a prominent global cryptocurrency exchange, has announced a strategic partnership with BitGo Singapore, a leading provider of secure digital asset infrastructure. This collaboration integrates BitGo’s Go Network Off-Exchange Settlement (OES) solution, aiming to enhance the security and efficiency of institutional trading on the HTX platform.

As the demand for secure and flexible trading infrastructure grows among institutional investors, HTX continues to innovate by adopting cutting-edge technologies. The integration of Go Network allows HTX clients to trade cryptocurrencies seamlessly while keeping their assets safeguarded in BitGo Singapore’s regulated cold custody. This ensures full asset control and segregation, mitigating counterparty risk and providing uninterrupted access to HTX’s deep liquidity and advanced trading infrastructure.

Justin Sun, Advisor to HTX, emphasized the importance of security and trust in the partnership. “By integrating BitGo’s Go Network, we’re setting a new standard for institutional-grade trading. We are excited to collaborate with BitGo to deliver a next-level trading experience that prioritizes user protection and operational excellence.”

The Go Network architecture ensures that client funds remain in cold storage and are insured up to $250M under BitGo Singapore Pte. Ltd., which holds a Major Payments License from the Monetary Authority. Assets are never exposed to exchanges or counterparties, remaining bankruptcy-remote and fully in the client’s name. This security model aligns with HTX’s stringent compliance and user protection protocols.

With assets securely kept in BitGo custody, clients can allocate trading capital to HTX as needed and execute trades using allocated funds without moving assets directly onto the exchange. This provides greater flexibility to deploy capital efficiently, optimize strategies, and respond quickly to market opportunities while preserving asset control.

By segregating custody and trading functions, HTX and BitGo Singapore deliver operational simplicity and risk mitigation. Users benefit from automated post-trade settlement workflows within BitGo Singapore’s regulated custody rails. This reduces manual friction and ensures greater transparency, compliance, and reliability throughout the trade lifecycle.

This partnership aligns with HTX’s broader strategy to enhance user experience, strengthen platform resilience, improve institutional accessibility, and expand its ecosystem through selective collaborations. By embracing cutting-edge custody and settlement infrastructure, HTX continues to raise the bar for operational transparency and institutional adoption in the crypto space.

Founded in 2013, HTX has evolved from a virtual asset exchange into a comprehensive ecosystem of blockchain businesses. As a world-leading gateway to Web3, HTX provides users with safe and reliable services, adhering to a growth strategy of “Global Expansion, Thriving Ecosystem, Wealth Effect, Security & Compliance.”

BitGo, the leading infrastructure provider of digital asset solutions, delivers custody, wallets, staking, trading, financing, and settlement services from regulated cold storage. With a large global presence through multiple regulated entities, BitGo serves thousands of institutions and millions of retail investors worldwide, handling a significant portion of Bitcoin network transactions and acting as the largest independent digital asset custodian and staking provider.
