With a wave of institutional investors expected to enter the Bitcoin game in coming months, safely storing cryptocurrency is becoming a top priority.
BitGo, a virtual wallet provider based in Palo Alto, Calif., said Monday it raised $42.5 million in venture capital fundraising as it gears up to service a hoard of new customers. The company helps secure digital assets held by hedge funds, exchanges, trusts, broker-dealers, and other businesses, including CME Group in Chicago and The Royal Mint in the United Kingdom.
