BitGo NYSE Listing Draws YZi Labs Backing for Crypto Trust
- YZi Labs entered the BitGo public listing to support regulated crypto custody growth.
- BitGo serves over 5,100 institutions with secure custody, staking, and stablecoin tools.
- NYSE debut shows rising demand for compliant crypto platforms across global finance.
YZi Labs, formerly Binance Labs and now the $10 billion investment arm linked to Changpeng Zhao, has joined the Initial Public Offering of BitGo on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BTGO. The firm entered the listing as a major institutional investor, signaling support for regulated crypto infrastructure and compliant digital asset services.
The investment aligns with YZi Labs’ strategy to focus on Web3, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology, while supporting companies that build secure and compliant financial systems. On X, YZi Labs described U.S.-regulated digital asset infrastructure as a long-term strategic pillar. The firm linked that view to global capital markets moving closer to digital asset rails.
It also pointed to BitGo’s regulated trust structure and its multi-jurisdictional compliance framework across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. This participation comes as institutions increase demand for regulated custody, clear compliance rules, and strong security standards.
BitGo now sits at the center of that shift with $82 billion in Assets on the platform and more than 5,100 institutional clients across 100 countries. The company also provides custody, trading, settlement, token management, staking services, and stablecoin infrastructure.
Strategic focus on regulated infrastructure
YZi Labs stated that regulated digital asset platforms form the backbone of long-term market development. The firm said BitGo’s structure supports fiduciary security and cross-border compliance in multiple jurisdictions. This framework allows institutions to operate within strict regulatory environments while accessing digital asset markets.
The OCC regulates BitGo Bank & Trust as a National Trust Bank, which BitGo operates. The company also maintains both SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 audit certifications. The platform meets institutional requirements through its custody, settlement, and token services.
Beyond custody services, BitGo provides staking-as-a-service and stablecoin-as-a-service solutions. The services enable banks and enterprises to create compliant white-label stablecoin products. The system links conventional financial systems with authorized digital asset trading platforms.
Institutional scale and operational reach
BitGo reports $82 billion in Assets on the platform. It serves more than 5,100 institutional clients across 100 countries. This scale places it among the largest global digital asset infrastructure providers. The company pioneered multi-signature wallet technology. It also operates a vertically integrated model that combines custody, trading, settlement, and token management. This structure supports end-to-end institutional workflows.
Ella Zhang, Head of YZi Labs, said BitGo has maintained a hack-free security record for more than a decade. She credited the technical foundation built by CEO Mike Belshe. She described BitGo’s regulated, institutional-grade infrastructure as a critical competitive advantage.
“With $82 billion AOP, BitGo is a cornerstone asset,” Zhang said. “We are committed to providing the strategic resources necessary to fuel its next phase of global growth as a public company.” She also referenced Belshe’s role as both a Bitcoin pioneer and a web technology architect.
IPO, compliance, and market convergence
Mike Belshe, CEO of BitGo, linked the NYSE listing to long-term institutional trust.
He said the company’s mission centers on delivering security and compliance to the digital asset ecosystem. He described YZi Labs’ investment as a shared commitment to regulated infrastructure.
“By combining BitGo’s security technology with Binance and the BNB ecosystem’s global market reach, we are setting the standard for how capital enters this space,” Belshe said. The statement tied BitGo’s infrastructure to broader market access. It also connected the IPO to global adoption.

YZi Labs manages more than $10 billion in assets and invests across Web3, AI, and biotech. Its portfolio spans over 300 projects in more than 25 countries across six continents.
Notable holdings include Trustwallet, CoinMarketCap, Polygon, Injective, Ethena, Safepal Wallet, Better Payment Network, Aster, and XAI.
BitGo’s public listing demonstrates increasing interest from regulated cryptocurrency companies that seek to enter mainstream financial markets. The stable digital asset platforms that meet regulatory requirements have become more popular among institutional investors, according to the current initial public offering.
The main question exists between traditional finance and digital markets. There exists an ongoing discussion about the future of regulated crypto infrastructure, which could serve as the primary connection point between traditional finance and digital markets.
