BitGo and Derive partner to offer institutional onchain derivatives with regulated custody.
DeFi & Yields ·
BitGo and Derive have partnered to provide institutional onchain derivatives paired with regulated custody services. The collaboration leverages BitGo's OCC-regulated digital asset infrastructure to secure positions and settle trades for institutional clients seeking exposure to crypto derivatives markets through a compliant framework.
The partnership combines Derive's onchain derivatives platform with BitGo's custody and settlement capabilities, allowing institutions to manage derivative positions alongside regulated asset safeguarding. By integrating these services, the two firms aim to address a core institutional need: accessing sophisticated trading instruments without compromising on regulatory oversight or custody standards that traditional finance demands.
The exact scope of the offering—including supported asset classes, leverage limits, and geographic availability—has not been fully detailed in available materials. The partnership represents a broader trend of crypto infrastructure providers building integrated solutions that pair trading venues with regulated custody rather than operating these functions separately.
