Summary

Key takeaways

  • Custody, key management, and audit-ready wallet infrastructure—not wallet UI—are the real blockers for crypto product launches.
  • Fintech Core now includes a dedicated BitGo integration so teams can run wallets, send/receive, and on-ramp flows on regulated custody without building that layer in-house.
  • BitGo holds $90B+ in assets under custody, serves 4,600+ institutional clients, supports 1,500+ assets, and operates under a US national trust bank charter.
  • With a settled BitGo contract, configuration and testing in Fintech Core can take about one week of team effort.
  • On-ramp conversion runs through an exchange partner (SCRYPT); assets settle into BitGo-custodied wallets covering SOL, BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC in the current setup.
  • Fintech Core also supports Fireblocks and Coinbase Custody, so custody choice is not a permanent architecture lock-in.

Launching a crypto product is rarely about the wallet UI. The real challenge is secure key management, custody that satisfies regulators and auditors, and wallet infrastructure that scales as new assets and markets come online. Building that layer in-house takes years and carries real risk—a cost most fintech teams can’t take before they’re in production.

Fintech Core has a way to close this gap. We’ve built a dedicated BitGo integration directly into Fintech Core, DashDevs’ composable fintech platform. Founders and product teams now get direct access to one of the industry’s most trusted custody providers, without building the custody layer themselves.

Fintech Core already runs fiat, cards, and compliance on a single ledger. Now that same system connects to BitGo’s regulated custody and wallet infrastructure. Founders, neobanks, and trading platforms get a production-ready foundation for crypto wallets, on-ramp flows, and hosted custody on top of the rails they’re already using.

Who is BitGo?

BitGo is a digital asset infrastructure company. It delivers custody, wallets, staking, trading, financing, stablecoins, and settlement services from regulated cold storage. Founded in 2013, BitGo began trading on the NYSE in January 2026 under the ticker BTGO.

BitGo pioneered the multi-signature wallet and was the first digital asset company to focus exclusively on institutional custody. In late 2025, it secured a national trust bank charter from the US OCC—a rare regulatory milestone that puts BitGo under bank-level oversight, security, and audit standards.

Key numbers

  • $90B+ in assets under custody
  • 4,600+ institutional clients across 100+ countries
  • 1,500+ digital assets supported
  • NYSE-listed (BTGO), operating under a US national trust bank charter

Custody is the part of a crypto product founders least want to build and most need to get right. With BitGo built into Fintech Core, teams can launch wallets, send/receive, and on-ramp flows from day one, while custody, key management, and compliance stay with a regulated provider. Our job is to keep the ledger, the fees, and the operational controls consistent, no matter which chain or asset is moving. — Yevgeniy Romanenko, Product Owner, Fintech Core

How the integration works

The BitGo extension lives inside Fintech Core. Custody and wallet operations sit alongside fiat, cards, and compliance in one platform, not bolted on as a separate system. From start to finish, time-to-launch takes about one week of team effort if you have a settled contract with BitGo. We would simply need to prepare a configuration tailored to your platform and conduct testing to confirm it functions as intended.

This is the same orchestration-first pattern we recommend when teams build a fiat-crypto platform with a unified balance system: one ledger truth, one operational model, and provider-specific custody behind a clean adapter.

Wallet and address management

Fintech Core provisions and manages BitGo wallet addresses directly. Teams get address creation, balance tracking, and transaction history through the platform, without switching into BitGo’s console for routine work.

Send and receive

Deposits and withdrawals run through a single send/receive layer. Balances, limits, and transaction states are reconciled against Fintech Core’s ledger, so crypto transactions are tracked with the same rigor as fiat ones.

On-ramp, with BitGo handling custody

BitGo doesn’t convert fiat to crypto—that’s handled by an exchange partner, SCRYPT, inside the on-ramp flow. Once the conversion happens, the resulting crypto assets land directly in a BitGo-custodied wallet, so users stay inside the same product experience from fiat into custodied crypto, with no separate off-platform step. In our current setup, this covers SOL, BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC—new assets can be added to the configuration as needed.

Hot and cold wallet sweeping

Fintech Core supports sweeping between hot and cold BitGo wallets, keeping operational funds accessible while the bulk of assets stay in cold storage.

Policies, fees, and event handling

Wallet policies, coin support, webhook events, and fee management are configured and monitored through Fintech Core—one place to own sweep design and operational controls, instead of managing them separately per project.

NEED A CUSTODY PATH THAT FITS YOUR LICENSE?
We configure BitGo wallets, policies, and on-ramp flows against your product and jurisdiction requirements.

When BitGo is the right fit

BitGo is the strongest match when hosted custody and operational control matter more than owning your own RPC or node—regulated trading platforms, neobanks adding crypto rails, and products that need audit-ready custody rather than self-managed key infrastructure.

If you are still weighing build vs. buy for custody, our guide to digital asset custody and Fireblocks vs. building infrastructure covers the trade-offs founders usually face before picking a provider. Fintech Core’s adapter also supports Fireblocks and Coinbase Custody, so the BitGo path is one option inside a broader custody strategy—not a permanent lock-in.

Bridge the gap between fiat and crypto

For founders who don’t want to spend the next year building a custody stack, and developers who want a clean, API-driven path to production, the Fintech Core x BitGo integration is the shortcut. We handle the plumbing—wallets, custody, sweeping, and on-ramp—so your team can focus on the product.
