Key Highlights
- Eligible BitGo clients can connect existing self-custody hot wallets to Hyperliquid through WalletConnect.
- Clients can access Hyperliquid perpetual markets without creating a new wallet or establishing a separate fund-transfer approval process.
- After activation, users can place, modify, and close orders without providing a new BitGo signature for every trade.
BitGo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BTGO), a digital asset infrastructure company, announced that eligible clients using BitGo self-custody hot wallets can connect their existing wallets to Hyperliquid through WalletConnect.
According to the official announcement on September 10, 2026, the connection allows those clients to access Hyperliquid perpetual markets without creating a separate wallet or introducing a new approval process for fund transfers.
After a required one-time activation, clients can place, modify, and close orders on Hyperliquid without providing a new BitGo wallet signature or making a separate on-chain gas payment for each order. Hyperliquid trading fees and other applicable fees may still apply.
Details of the connection
Deposits and withdrawals that require a BitGo wallet transaction continue to follow the wallet’s configured approval policies, including any multi-user approval requirements. Once funds are available for trading on Hyperliquid, clients can manage orders and positions without returning to BitGo to sign each trading action.
The connection uses WalletConnect to establish a permissioned link between the client’s BitGo wallet and Hyperliquid. Private keys are not exposed in the process.
The capability is available now to eligible existing BitGo self-custody hot wallet clients. It is not available to clients in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, or other jurisdictions in which access to leveraged digital asset derivatives is restricted.
Scope of the Hyperliquid integration
BitGo described the Hyperliquid connection as part of its existing self-custody wallet infrastructure. Clients retain the approval controls already set on their BitGo wallets for any movement of funds that requires a wallet transaction. Trading activity on Hyperliquid after the initial connection does not require repeated signatures from the BitGo wallet for each order.
The company stated that the feature is limited to eligible clients outside restricted jurisdictions. No additional details were provided on the specific eligibility criteria beyond the geographic restrictions listed.
The Hyperliquid integration applies only to self-custody hot wallets and does not alter the company’s qualified custody offerings.
BitGo Korea receives VASP registration
In a separate development, BitGo Korea received acceptance of its Virtual Asset Service Provider registration from the Korea Financial Intelligence Unit. The registration allows the local entity of the NYSE-listed firm to provide virtual asset custody and transfer services to institutional clients in South Korea.
Hana Financial Group and SK Telecom are strategic shareholders in BitGo Korea. The company did not disclose the size of either stake. The registration permits BitGo Korea to serve institutional and enterprise clients, which the company said include financial institutions, asset managers, corporates, public-sector organizations, and other qualified market participants. It does not cover exchange operations.
