Digital asset infrastructure firm BitGo (NYSE: BTGO) launched BitGo Research on September 24 and appointed Greg Cipolaro, NYDIG’s former global head of research, to lead it. The unit will provide institutional clients with market commentary, thematic reports and data-driven analysis, drawing on BitGo’s custody, wallets, staking (locking crypto to earn rewards), trading, financing, stablecoins (cryptocurrencies designed to maintain stable values) and settlement operations. Cipolaro joined after BitGo’s recent acquisition of NYDIG’s institutional trading business, where he built a research franchise covering bitcoin and digital asset markets for institutional investors, allocators and corporates. The launch supports BitGo’s broader institutional expansion, including a Singapore office opened as its Asia-Pacific client base tripled. The research desk is expected to address market structure, macro trends and the broader digital asset landscape. BitGo also maintains several regulated entities, including BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association, described as the first federally chartered digital asset trust bank owned by a publicly traded company.
