Insurance was another factor in Amber Group’s decision to choose BitGo. In 2019, BitGo introduced the most comprehensive insurance protections for digital assets which included $100 million USD for assets held in BitGo qualified custody, through a syndicate of insurers in the Lloyd’s of London and European Marketplace. Earlier this year, BitGo became the first digital asset custodian to offer clients the ability to purchase their own excess limits above BitGo’s $100 million policy. BitGo clients who purchase Excess Specie Insurance will be named as Dedicated Customer Loss Payee in the policy, ensuring an additional layer of protection.
“Amber Group’s leading-edge crypto innovations originate from the founders’ background in traditional finance,” said Mike Belshe, CEO, BitGo. “Amber was formed by seasoned finance professionals who cut their teeth trading at firms like Morgan Stanley. Amber is poised for tremendous growth and the team at BitGo is focused on providing the security, liquidity and custody infrastructure they require to do what they do best — transform the future of finance.”
