BitGo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BTGO) announced WalletConnect support for its self-custody institutional clients, enabling connectivity to Decibel, a decentralized exchange for spot and perpetuals trading built on the Aptos network.

Institutional clients can connect BitGo self-custody MPC wallets to Decibel through WalletConnect, initiate trades from the Decibel interface, and approve transactions through BitGo's MPC infrastructure and wallet policy engine. Existing controls, including address whitelisting and multi-party approval workflows, carry through the trading process.

BitGo will initially support wallet connectivity on Ethereum and Solana, allowing customers to access Decibel without moving assets into a separate wallet or changing existing approval workflows. Support is set to expand to additional networks over time.

"Institutions shouldn't have to choose between the controls they need and access to onchain markets," said Abel Seow, Managing Director and Head of APAC Sales at BitGo. "This integration connects BitGo's self-custody wallets to Decibel, giving customers a way to access onchain spot and perpetual markets while keeping the policies, approvals, and controls they already rely on."

Decibel is built on the Aptos network, which provides blockchain infrastructure with sub-second finality for the trading venue.

"Regulated custody is where institutional capital lives today. Connecting that base to onchain trading is exactly what Aptos was built to do," said Solomon Tesfaye, Chief Business Officer at Aptos Labs.
