The world of crypto has developed at a breakneck pace over the past few years, and in a new development, cryptocurrency firm BitGo has announced the launch of its own crypto lending service. In recent times, the crypto lending industry has grown at a decent pace, but there is still room for a lot of growth.
Key Expansion
The announcement from BitGo is an important one and could usher in a new era in this niche space in the crypto sphere. The company claims to handles 20% of all transactions that are conducted through Bitcoin, and the service is going to be launched today.
The company conducted a beta test spanning over a period of several months, and it seems, it is now good to go. BitGo is aiming to create a crypto lending service that is similar to services that are available in traditional markets, according to the head of financial services at BitGo, Nick Carmi. The lending service is going to offer loans that are fully collateralized, and in addition to that, there is going to be detailed reporting for each client.

Carmi also stated that the business that has been created by the company is not going to be a run-of-the-mill business interested in small margins and high volumes. He added, “We are building deep relationships with our clients to drive value for them and to create a long term, sustainable business.”
However, the most important thing to note about this product is the fact that it is only going to be open to institutional traders, and the company has no plans to make it available to non-institutional traders. Carmi is a veteran of Wall Street and stated that a service of this kind is a first for BitGo as well.
