KuCoin Teams Up With BitGo Singapore to Seamlessly Onboard Institutional Clients via The Go Network
KuCoin just leveled up its institutional game—partnering with BitGo Singapore to plug deep-pocketed clients directly into its trading ecosystem. No more clunky onboarding, just frictionless crypto access for the suits.
Why it matters: While retail traders fight over meme coins, the real money moves behind velvet ropes. This collab gives institutions the VIP pass they've been craving—with BitGo's custody chops backing every transaction.
The cynical take: Because nothing says 'bull market' like exchanges rolling out red carpets for hedge funds who'll dump their bags on retail later. Classic crypto.
Securing Trust And Security For Institutional Clients
This exchange partnership marks a one-of-a-kind relationship between two of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. The integration into BitGo Singapore’s Off-Exchange Settlement (OES) platform will allow KuCoin’s institutional clients to trade without pre-funding their exchange wallets. Their assets will remain securely held in regulated custody under BitGo Singapore, a licensed Major Payment Institution under the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
“Partnering with KuCoin on Go Network through BitGo Singapore marks a major step forward in building a more efficient trading ecosystem,” BRETT Reeves, Head of Go Network at BitGo, stated in his welcome speech. “This is how digital asset trading should be—secure, compliant, and built on trust.”
This follows the growing institutional interest in the cryptocurrency space, with the partnership offering a mature and proven model of custody and execution separation, diversifying counterparty and systemic risk while enhancing operational security.
Notwithstanding, institutional clients trading on KuCoin will also benefit from a comprehensive suite of features designed to enhance security, compliance, and flexibility in the digital asset space. Some of the features clients will benefit from include qualified custody with insurance coverage up to $250 million, automated post-trade settlement, and full asset control with delegated trading access.
The partnership will allow institutional clients to access the full suite of products on KuCoin Exchange, including spot, margin, options, and perpetual futures via BitGo Singapore’s Go Network.
Off-exchange settlement is gaining traction across the industry, providing institutional clients with a safer and instantaneous way to execute large trades without slippage. Additionally, it allows them to trade without pre-funding, reducing capital inefficiencies and mitigating counterparty exposure. KuCoin’s team aim to leverage the recent partnership to boost its platform’s compliance structure and custody. This will help the exchange build a more secure and trustworthy digital asset trading environment.
