BitGo, a leading digital asset trust and security company, has joined Liquid Collective to offer Qualified Custody for LsETH. BitGo’s clients can now securely custody LsETH, Liquid Collective's receipt token that represents ownership of staked ETH and its associated rewards.
The offering expands BitGo’s custodial support into the rapidly-growing liquid staking market, which has grown to become one of the largest sectors of DeFi in the last year. As a Liquid Collective Custodian, BitGo will join the collective of leading web3 teams building and running the enterprise-grade protocol designed to meet the needs of institutions.
"We are excited that BitGo has launched LsETH custody. BitGo’s regulated financial services, robust infrastructure, and emphasis on security make them an ideal partner in our work to bring secure and compliant staking solutions to the forefront of the crypto industry,” said Mara Schmiedt, CEO of Alluvial, a team supporting Liquid Collective’s development. “This collaboration marks a significant step forward in bridging traditional financial services with the innovative potential of web3 ecosystems."
“BitGo is pleased to announce the integration of LsETH from Liquid Collective into our custody services. LsETH, as a liquid staking solution, provides our clients with an innovative approach to Ethereum staking, combining the potential for earning staking rewards with the flexibility of liquidity. This integration reflects our commitment to support the dynamic DeFi space while maintaining the highest standards of security and regulatory compliance, ensuring our clients have access to the most secure and scalable custody options in the market,” said Chen Fang, COO of BitGo.
BitGo's custody solution stands out for its robust security measures, along with being insured and regulated as a qualified custodian. All keys are securely held offline in cold storage, fortified by multiple layers of security processes. This ensures that BitGo's diverse user base, which includes institutional investors, financial service providers, and trading firms, can have peace of mind when storing their LsETH.
