BitGo has rolled out a new product called LINK, a unified interface that lets institutional clients view and move digital assets held in BitGo custody and on centralized exchanges from a single dashboard.
The launch builds on BitGo’s broader push to separate custody from trading, an operational philosophy that has become increasingly important to institutions still haunted by the ghosts of exchange collapses past.
How LINK fits into BitGo’s Go Network
LINK is best understood as a front-end layer sitting atop BitGo’s Go Network Off-Exchange Settlement (OES) infrastructure. The Go Network OES lets institutions allocate their custody balances for trading on connected centralized exchanges while the assets themselves never leave BitGo Bank & Trust.
Trades settle through BitGo’s secure infrastructure using a Delivery-vs-Payment mechanism, which means neither side of a trade has to trust the other to hold up their end of the deal.
