NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)

BitGo Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BTGO) (“BitGo”), the digital asset infrastructure company, today announced a new suite of capabilities in digital asset security designed to address the ever changing threats facing institutional crypto operations. As attack vectors become more sophisticated, from deepfakes and social engineering to API spoofing and address manipulation, BitGo’s latest release reflects a structural shift in how digital asset transactions are secured.

These enhancements move protections earlier in the transaction lifecycle and across distinct layers that can be independently validated, creating a system in which a transaction must be both cryptographically valid and contextually authorized before it can be executed. BitGo secures transactions across five critical layers that include intent, device, identity, behavior, and policy.

At the intent layer, BitGo has introduced real-time API attestations that cryptographically bind transaction details to user intent prior to signing. This helps to ensure that what is executed is what the user approved, aiming to mitigate a class of attacks where destination addresses or amounts are altered outside of the user’s awareness.

At the device and identity layers, BitGo extends security beyond credentials to hardware-backed verification. The BitGo Verify app acts as a trusted execution surface, combining biometrics, device attestation, and app integrity checks to help ensure approvals originate from known, untampered devices. Hardware-bound authentication, session binding, and on-demand video identification calls introduce stronger guarantees against impersonations, including deepfakes and injected videos, shifting authentication from “who is the user” to “who, on what device, and in what environment.”

At the behavioral layer, BitGo introduces real-time transaction threat detection. The platform evaluates withdrawal activity to identify patterns such as address poisoning, flagging suspicious destinations at the moment of execution so operators can intervene before funds move. This shifts from prevention from retrospective analysis to pre-execution enforcement.

BitGo’s Policy Engine also expands governance as a core component of transaction security. Policies allow institutions to define the rules that govern how assets move, requiring approvals for large transactions, restricting withdrawals to approved addresses, or enforcing velocity limits. The Policy Engine enforces organizational rules independently of cryptographic authorization, helping to ensure that even valid transactions cannot be executed if they violate defined rules and controls. Recent enhancements to the Policy Engine include policy recommendations, duplication, and webhook integrations that allow institutions to scale security, standardize configurations, and integrate with internal risk systems.

All features and enhancements operate in conjunction with BitGo’s existing security infrastructure, extending security beyond key protection alone and ensuring that transactions are evaluated holistically. By validating transactions across intent, device, identity, behavior, and policy layers, BitGo addresses a new class of risks facing institutions, where attacks increasingly target the gaps between systems in addition to the systems themselves.
