A major milestone for institutional crypto adoption: BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association has secured OCC approval to provide professional custody and safekeeping services. This goes beyond simply storing private keys—it's about delivering the legal accountability, governance frameworks, and fiduciary oversight that institutional clients demand. With federal authority backing these services, the infrastructure for secure, compliant digital asset management continues to mature. This development reflects growing mainstream recognition that institutional-grade custody isn't just a nice-to-have, it's essential for scaling crypto adoption among traditional finance participants.

Did BitGo get OCC approval? Now institutions are really coming, but to be honest, the compliance process is so complicated it’s deadly.

Bro, I see through this BitGo thing. When institutions enter, someone has to back them up; otherwise, how would those big funds dare to move? This is the real leverage that can pry open the pile of traditional financial money.

Only just getting approval now, what were you doing all this time? What era is this?

ah yes, the classic "this time is different" infrastructure phase. statistically speaking, we're hitting the exact same adoption curve that preceded the 2017 peak... *checks notes* regulators suddenly embracing crypto custody? history's rhyming again, and it rhymes expensively
