BitGo agreed to acquire NYDIG’s institutional trading business, NYDIG IF Holdings, for $42.5 million in cash and stock, plus a potential $15 million cash earnout tied to future revenue milestones and additional stock. The deal includes $7 million in cash and about $35.5 million in stock. BitGo will integrate derivatives, structured products, financing and broader capital markets services into its existing custody, settlement and wallet infrastructure. BitGo granted NYDIG registration rights for its issued shares and will offer restricted stock units and cash retention awards to incoming staff. Analysts view the move as part of crypto’s broader shift toward institutional participation.
