X Layer Welcomes BitGo as Its Preferred Custodian

We built X Layer to be more than a blockchain. From day one, our goal has been to create an ecosystem where institutions, enterprises, and real-world asset (RWA) projects can operate with the same confidence and security they expect in traditional finance. Today, we’re taking a significant step toward that vision by welcoming BitGo as the preferred custodian to support the X Layer token standard.

A growing number of our ecosystem partners operate in the RWA sector, issuing tokenized securities, funds, and other financial instruments that require the same regulatory safeguards as their traditional counterparts. BitGo is a natural partner for us here. As a regulated, qualified custodian with deep experience serving institutional clients, BitGo provides the credibility and infrastructure that RWA projects need to attract serious capital. We will actively recommend BitGo to RWA partners and institutional participants building on X Layer as the preferred custody solution and we see this relationship growing alongside the ecosystem.

With BitGo now supporting the X Layer token standard, every project in our ecosystem gains access to a globally recognized, regulated custody solution. This integration enables X Layer participants to:

• Secure X Layer tokens under qualified custody, meeting the standards required by institutional investors

• Manage assets using BitGo’s multi-signature wallet architecture, built for enterprise-grade security

• Choose between Qualified Custody, Self-Custody Hot Wallets, and Self-Custody Cold Wallets depending on their operational model

• Integrate custody directly into institutional treasury and asset management workflows

This flexibility is important to us. Not every project on X Layer has the same custody requirements and BitGo’s suite of products ensures that whether you’re a large institution managing long-term treasury assets or a developer team needing operational wallet access, there’s a solution that fits.

The broader Web3 industry is at an inflection point. Institutions are increasingly ready to participate in onchain markets but their participation depends on the presence of infrastructure they can trust. Qualified custody is a foundational piece of that stack.If you’re an institution, RWA project, or enterprise looking to build on X Layer with the security of qualified custody behind you, we encourage you to explore what BitGo offers and reach out to our team.
