BitGo (NYSE: $BTGO) is opening a cleaner institutional route into DeFi, bringing Aave (CRYPTO: $AAVE), Spark and Tesseract into its custody environment through an integration with Narval’s institutional DeFi gateway.
The launch lets eligible clients access approved decentralized finance protocols directly from BitGo Bank & Trust qualified custody wallets, while keeping policy-based approvals, transaction verification and governance controls in place
BitGo Bank & Trust is an OCC-regulated digital asset trust bank and a subsidiary of BitGo Holdings Inc. The structure is built around a problem that has slowed institutional DeFi adoption for years. Many firms want lending, credit and yield access onchain, but moving assets out of qualified custody into self-custodied wallets can create security, audit and compliance concerns.
BitGo and Narval are working to keep those controls intact while allowing clients to interact with selected protocols. More From Cryptoprowl: Narval’s gateway checks proposed transactions before they reach BitGo’s signing and custody approval workflow. The system decodes transaction details into human-readable form and compares the interaction against approved protocols and contract addresses, a control layer aimed at reducing blind-signing risk.
