Custodele criptografic BitGo semnalează intenția de a achiziționa Prime Trust

Wallet infrastructure provider and digital asset custodian BitGo have signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire fintech infrastructure provider Prime Trust, according to an announcement on June 8. 

Termenii acordului nu au fost dezvăluiți. Dacă afacerea va fi finalizată, BitGo va achiziționa șinele de plată ale Prime Trust și fondul de criptomonede IRA și își va crește ofertele de gestionare a averii.

Nevada Trust Company de la Prime Trust se va alătura, de asemenea, rețelei BitGo de companii de încredere reglementate din Dakota de Sud, New York, Germania și Elveția. Infrastructura API și rețeaua de schimb a Prime Trust se vor „mapa peste 1:1” cu serviciile BitGo. Conform declarației BitGo:

„Această achiziție face din BitGo prima companie globală de active digitale care oferă o suită completă de soluții pentru instituții și platforme fintech.”

The crypto custody market is evolving rapidly, with Ripple acquiring Swiss digital asset custody provider Metaco in May for $250 million. In addition, technological advances are impacting the market.

The acquisition comes as the United States Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed rule changes that would make it harder for crypto companies to act as custodians of their customers’ funds.

Prime Trust reportedly laid off a third of its staff in January. Later, it stepped in to hold Binance.US customer funds through a network of partner banks after the banking crisis in March. It was the center of a scandal in the U.S. state of Oregon last year when it was identified as the source of a $500,000 contribution to the state Democratic Party that later turned out to have come from FTX executive Nishad Singh.

Bitgo itself was almost acquired by Galaxy Digital for $1.2 billion last year, and filed suit against Galaxy after the deal was cancelled.
