BitGo adds digital dollars to its trust bank accounts

BitGo added digital dollars to its trust bank accounts. Clients of BitGo Bank and Trust, a digital asset trust bank subsidiary regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, can use their Go Account to place orders without opening a separate account with Circle, according to The Block.
BitGo Holdings added USDC minting and redemption to its Go Accounts, the digital asset infrastructure firm said Thursday. Clients can initiate and monitor their orders on the BitGo platform or through its API. BitGo will route them through its Circle Mint account, charging flat fees that clients see before they confirm the transaction.
BitGo initially offered minting and redemption for World Liberty Financial and SoFi Bank when it first launched its Mint service in April. The more assets an institution uses, the more work it takes to manage separate accounts and issuer relationships, BitGo CEO and co-founder Mike Belshe said in the statement.
The service supports USDC on Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, HyperEVM, Monad, and Aptos, though BitGo said availability depends on jurisdiction and other account requirements. Onchain components of eligible orders can be processed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, subject to network availability and account controls.
Clients funding or withdrawing fiat will still have to work within applicable banking processing windows and settlement times. The news follows the launch of BitGo Global Markets, led by former NYDIG executive Pete Janney, to offer institutional trading and financial services including crypto-backed financing, options, and swaps.
