IOTA Secures BitGo Integration, Opening Regulated U.S. Access for 4,900+ Institutions

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

• BitGo’s support gives IOTA a regulated entry point into the U.S. institutional market.
• Exchanges, market makers, and OTC desks can now access IOTA through existing BitGo infrastructure.
• The integration aligns with IOTA’s broader roadmap, including 2026 upgrades and major multi-chain expansion.

IOTA has taken a major step toward expanding its presence in the United States, securing regulated support through a new partnership with BitGo — one of the country’s most established digital asset custodians. Beginning in early December, BitGo will support the IOTA Mainnet across its institutional-grade platform, giving U.S. exchanges, market makers, and financial firms a fully compliant path to custody, store, buy, and sell the token.

A Regulated Entry Point Into the American Market

BitGo’s backing gives IOTA something it has long lacked: regulated infrastructure within the U.S. financial system. The custodian, which has operated since 2013 under the oversight of the South Dakota Division of Banking, secures more than 1,500 digital assets and insures holdings with a policy of up to $250 million.

Its integration allows more than 4,900 institutions and exchanges using BitGo’s services to access IOTA without building custom systems or navigating uncertainty around custody rules. This opens new liquidity channels for the token and strengthens the network’s position ahead of broader institutional activity.

Support Across Wallets, Exchanges, and OTC Desks

Through BitGo, IOTA gains access to a wide suite of services — from wallet infrastructure and settlement tools to lending and trading capabilities. Exchanges that already rely on BitGo to power deposits and withdrawals can now add IOTA with minimal friction, while market makers gain more stable operational support.

BitGo’s OTC desk also adds an important dimension. The service enables institutions to conduct large-volume trades via secure voice or chat channels, a format already used for assets like Ethereum. By offering IOTA through this regulated structure, major participants gain clarity around compliance, tax reporting, and risk management.

The timing aligns with IOTA’s push toward its 2026 roadmap, including the launch of TWIN and TLIP, which are expected to bring increased network activity through AfCFTA trade flows. The project has also expanded its multi-chain ambitions through new integrations with LayerZero and Stargate, enabling connectivity to more than 150 blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, Base, and BNB Smart Chain.

IOTA’s BitGo integration marks one of its most important institutional breakthroughs in years, offering regulated U.S. access just as the network gears up for significant upgrades and multi-chain expansion. With clearer pathways for exchanges, institutions, and market makers, IOTA is positioning itself for a stronger role in the next phase of global digital asset adoption.
