XDC Network Selects BitGo for Regulated Custody of XDC and USDC

Published at 2026-02-03 11:00:10

XDC Network announced a custody partnership with BitGo that will cover XDC tokens and USDC on its enterprise-focused public blockchain. By integrating BitGo’s regulated custody services, XDC aims to offer institutional-grade safekeeping and compliance features to attract corporate treasuries, exchanges, and regulated funds. The deal adds a widely recognized custodian to XDC’s stack, potentially smoothing due diligence and onboarding timelines for large counterparties.

The move matters because custody is often a gating item for institutional flows; having BitGo on board could increase confidence among custodians, auditors, and regulators. Supporting USDC natively also strengthens XDC’s utility for stablecoin settlement and cross-border business use cases. While adoption will depend on partnerships and liquidity, the integration signals a practical step toward bridging enterprise requirements with blockchain-native settlement tools.
