From the Vault: The BitGo Podcast

BitGo’s Chris Park sits down with Keone Hon, co-founder of Monad, the layer 1 blockchain built for speed and scalability. They cover Keone’s path from high-frequency trading to crypto, how Monad’s parallel execution works, and the recent launch of SoFi USD, the first bank-issued stablecoin, powered by BitGo and live on Monad alongside Ethereum and Solana.

BitGo’s Chen Fang sits down with Kris Gower from Circle at BitGo’s Singapore office during Token2049 week to talk through Circle’s recent momentum. 

They cover the launch of ARC, Circle’s new blockchain built as an “economic operating system for the internet,” the acquisition of payments company Tazapay, and new product Circle Match. The conversation also digs into USDC vs. USDT, tokenized real-world assets, and why AI agents already account for 99.3% of agentic commerce payments running on USDC.

BitGo’s Zain Bedi sits down with Will Peck, Head of Digital Assets at WisdomTree, to talk tokenization, stablecoins, and where onchain finance goes next. They cover WisdomTree’s tokenized money market fund WTGXX, the direct BitGo integration powering mint and burn for clients, and more.

BitGo Korea CEO Chen Fang sits down with Chris Park, Head of Commercial Strategy, to talk about why they joined BitGo, what sets its custody apart, and why they believe Korea is on the edge of a wave of institutional crypto adoption.

BitGo CEO Mike Belshe sits down with Pete Janney, newly joined via the BitGo–NYDIG merger, to discuss combining BitGo's custody infrastructure with NYDIG's institutional trading and prime brokerage expertise. They cover the 29-person team joining BitGo, the roadmap for tokenized equities and expanded product offerings, and how regulatory clarity is setting up the next growth cycle in digital assets.

CahilllNXT co-chair Lewis Cohen joins BitGo's Zain Bedi for a game of chess and a wide-ranging conversation on where digital asset regulation is headed. He explains why clear "rules of the road" let the industry move faster, not slower. He also makes the case that a security is defined by an economic relationship, not by a token itself. And he lays out what it will take for crypto to deliver real, lasting economic value, from stablecoins and payments to tokenized securities on public chains.

21Shares co-founder Ophelia Snyder joins BitGo's Zain Bedi for a game of chess and a wide-ranging conversation on where digital assets are headed. She explains why tokenization should be understood as settlement infrastructure rather than a product category, how a changing holder base has tied crypto much more closely to macro, and why growing currency fragmentation could make blockchains an increasingly natural choice for global payments and capital markets.

InvestiFi CEO Kian Sarreshteh joins BitGo's Frank Wang to explain how investing from checking is helping community banks and credit unions offer crypto, stablecoins, and investing directly inside their existing banking apps, powered by BitGo's regulated custody infrastructure. They cover crypto as a service, stablecoin payment rails, and the road ahead for tokenized equities.

Zain Bedi sits down with Julian Kwan, CEO and Co-Founder of InvestaX and ISX, to discuss the decade-long evolution of real-world asset tokenization from Singapore's early ICO era to today's institutional US market. They dig into liquidity models, KYC-compliant DeFi/TradFi bridges, and the coming wave of AI agents investing directly in tokenized treasuries and money market funds.

Voltage founder and CEO Graham Krizek explains how the Lightning Network gives Bitcoin sub-second, near-zero-fee payments without sacrificing its security or decentralization. He digs into why stablecoins on Lightning could be a Trojan horse for adoption, how the payments use case reinforces Bitcoin's long-term investment thesis, and why Lightning may be uniquely suited for the coming wave of AI and agentic payments.
