Unlocking Institutional-Grade Bitcoin Returns at Scale
Through the integration with Core's "Double Staking," BitGo has brought secure Bitcoin staking services to institutional clients. By time-locking clients' Bitcoin on BitGo's compliant custody platform and staking CORE tokens, institutions can unlock scalable tiered returns without exposure to slashing, credit, counterparty, or smart contract risks.
"BitGo's integration with Core is a milestone for institutional Bitcoin staking," said Rich Rines, an early Core contributor. "By combining Core's secure, sustainable, and scalable staking solution with BitGo's unparalleled custody service, we are ushering in a new era of Bitcoin DeFi."
"BitGo's integration with Core reflects our commitment to expanding secure Bitcoin yield generation opportunities for institutional clients," said BitGo CEO Mike Belshe.

Opening Bitcoin DeFi to Institutions
Core's innovative staking solution has introduced a "risk-free rate" for Bitcoin for the first time, with rewards subsidized by transaction fees and Bitcoin's 81-year block reward. With over 75% of Bitcoin's hashrate securing the network through miner participation, Core has achieved a groundbreaking staking solution, currently staking over 5,300 BTC, unlocking billions of dollars of previously static Bitcoin value.
Furthermore, Core has provided scalable, sustainable infrastructure for institutional Bitcoin staking, with a total value locked (TVL) exceeding $9 billion, a thriving ecosystem with over 100 dApps, 500k weekly active wallets, and over 3.19 billion transactions since launch.
