BitGo Holdings, Inc. has initiated a series of expansions aimed at strengthening its institutional services and technological capabilities. In September 2026, the company launched BitGo Research, a division led by Greg Cipolaro designed to provide institutional clients with data-driven analysis of digital asset markets and market structures.

Following this, the company established BitGo Labs, a research and innovation unit focused on integrating artificial intelligence with crypto assets. This unit introduced Gokubu, an AI-powered consumer financial application featuring an AI-driven payment card for use at Visa merchants. The initiative is intended to prepare for a future involving autonomous AI agents that require blockchain-based micro-payments and instant settlements.
