BitGo Expands European ETP Infrastructure with Appointment as Custody Partner for Virtune
BitGo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BTGO), the digital asset infrastructure company, through its MiCA-licensed subsidiary BitGo Europe GmbH ("BitGo") today announced its appointment as an additional custodian within the ETP program of Virtune, a regulated Swedish digital asset manager and ETP issuer. BitGo will provide custody services for the Virtune Stablecoin Index ETP (XHEL:STABLEE). BitGo's appointment expands the program's asset support capabilities, enabling Virtune to custody a broader range of digital assets within its ETP structure.
This expansion is underpinned by a strong regulatory foundation on both sides of the partnership. BitGo holds a MiCA license from BaFin to provide custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of clients, ensuring that regulated custody standards apply at every layer of the ETP structure. Virtune's ETPs are themselves structured to meet the rigorous standards of European regulatory frameworks, including requirements relevant to ETP structures. Together, this custodian-level and issuer-level regulatory alignment gives institutional investors confidence that their assets are protected within a fully regulated, accountable framework.
BitGo brings to this partnership an established reputation as an institutional digital asset infrastructure provider with over a decade of experience serving ETP issuers and institutional clients across global markets. Its institutional-grade cold storage supported by up to $250 million in insurance coverage delivers the operational reliability and security that Virtune's investors expect. BitGo's proven track record, across thousands of institutional clients and regulated platforms, made it a natural fit for Virtune's expanding European footprint.
Beyond custody, Virtune's ETP program also includes a collateral agent, providing additional legal protection for investors. This partnership will be grounded in shared values of institutional rigor, regulatory alignment, and a commitment to digital asset security for European investors.
"Virtune has been a valued partner, and this expansion is a natural evolution of a relationship built on operational excellence and mutual trust. European institutional investors deserve the same level of infrastructure that BitGo provides globally: regulated custody, extensive asset support, and proven security. We are proud to support Virtune as they continue to grow their ETP offering across European exchanges." - Jody Mettler, Chief Operating Officer at BitGo
"We are pleased to add BitGo as an additional custodian within our ETP program. Their capabilities in digital asset custody and broad asset coverage support our continued product expansion and ongoing innovation." - Christopher Kock, CEO at Virtune
