More specifically, the company has officially confirmed they will add another cryptocurrency to its services in the near future. That currency will come in the form of Tron or TRX. The choice for this particular currency is rather intriguing, primarily because Tron has not necessarily seen any institutional interest to date. Then again, there are more currencies than just Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP.

There has been a growing interest among clients who want to see custodial support for TRX. It remains to be seen which kind of use cases this will unlock over time, as there are many different opportunities to explore.

Benedict Chan, CTO of BitGo says:

“We worked with TRON’s development team to develop their first multi-signature, institutional-grade wallet. TRON’s move towards on-chain, multi-sig opens the door for financial services clients who demand the highest levels of security.”

The BitGo team had a previous collaboration with Tron’s developers, as they helped build the first institutional-grade mutisig wallet. The move to on-chain multisig is rather logical. BitGo is also opening up its custody services for any other parties having Tron (TRX). Some of these could be exchange companies, prime brokers and even futures platforms.
