BitGo Opens 2026 with a Hot IPO Amid Crypto Market Slump
BitGo Holdings opened its NYSE debut about 25% higher after pricing 11.8 million shares at $18, valuing the company around $2.08 billion; the IPO raised roughly $198.5 million with Goldman Sachs and Citigroup leading the deal. BitGo, which provides wallets, validation, trading and custody for digital assets, arrived as the crypto market showed weakness (bitcoin trading below $90,000), signaling robust investor appetite for crypto infrastructure despite broader uncertainty. BitGo also stated it has regulatory approval to convert BitGo Trust Co. to a federally chartered bank for digital assets, underscoring regulatory clarity as Kraken and others eye IPOs.
