Here’s a classic story in the crypto infrastructure world: a company wants to launch a trading platform in the U.S., but doesn’t want to spend years and millions building the regulatory and security backend from scratch. The solution? Rent it. That’s what AndX USA LLC is doing, tapping BitGo Holdings Inc. (BTGO) and its Crypto-as-a-Service platform to make its stateside debut official on Thursday.
BitGo Powers AndX's U.S. Crypto Launch: A Regulated Infrastructure Play
MarketDash
BitGo's Crypto-as-a-Service platform is the engine behind AndX's new U.S. trading debut, offering institutional-grade security and API-driven tools in a market hungry for both speed and safety.

Building on a Regulated Foundation
BitGo said AndX is using its platform, which is built on BitGo Bank & Trust, to offer digital asset services. The big sell here is that this lets AndX launch a platform for buying, selling, and holding crypto across all 50 states with what’s being pitched as institutional-grade security and compliance right out of the gate. The custody piece comes with $250 million in insurance coverage, which is the kind of number that makes risk managers sleep a bit better at night.
The API-Driven Advantage
The whole setup is API-driven, which is tech-speak for "plug and play." BitGo’s argument is that this lets companies like AndX get to market faster without having to trade security for speed. They handle the custody, the transfers, and the trading workflows in the background, so AndX can focus on what it wants to build on top.
"Crypto platforms no longer need to trade off speed for strong institutional safeguards," said Frank Wang, managing director and head of fintech at BitGo. He noted that the Crypto-as-a-Service model helps firms "launch and scale secure trading operations on a regulated, API-driven infrastructure built for reliability, control, and compliance."
For AndX, the appeal is about focus. "This partnership supports our aim to broaden access to financial markets while upholding high standards of security and trust," said Viru Raparthi, CEO and founder of AndX. Raparthi added that BitGo’s backend work lets AndX concentrate on "innovation, including AI-driven trading tools, tokenized real-world assets, and global payment capabilities within a unified platform for modern investors." In other words, AndX gets to work on the flashy, user-facing features while BitGo worries about the heavily-regulated plumbing.
A Look at BitGo's Stock Chart
While the company is signing deals, its stock is telling a different story. At $8.44, BTGO is trading 9.4% below its 20-day simple moving average and a more concerning 18.4% below its 50-day average. That suggests the near- and intermediate-term trends are still pointing down, and any price rallies might struggle to gain momentum.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), a momentum indicator, is also in bearish territory. The reading is -0.8108 versus a signal line of -0.8018, indicating that downward pressure is still slightly stronger than any upward push. There was a brief bullish crossover signal dated for today, April 9, 2026, but the current data shows that move hasn't fully taken hold yet.
- Key Resistance: $9.50 — a likely area where rebounds can stall near the 20-day trend zone.
- Key Support: $7.50 — a key "line in the sand" where buyers have tended to show up.
What the Analysts Think
The company is slated to provide its next financial update on May 26, 2026 (estimated). The consensus is looking for a loss of 9 cents per share on revenue of $5.64 billion.
Despite the rocky chart, the analyst community is still generally positive. The stock carries a Buy rating with an average price target of $14.83, which is a hefty premium to the current price. Recent analyst actions, however, have involved mostly target price cuts:
- Mizuho: Outperform (Lowers Target to $14.00) (April 1)
- Goldman Sachs: Neutral (Lowers Target to $10.50) (March 27)
- Cantor Fitzgerald: Overweight (Lowers Target to $17.00) (March 27)
BitGo Holdings shares were down 0.24% at $8.44 at the time of publication on Thursday, according to market data.
