BitGo Singapore and dtcpay have formed a partnership to support secure digital asset payment infrastructure across global markets.
Summary
- BitGo Singapore will support dtcpay’s digital asset payment network with regulated infrastructure and custody tools.
- dtcpay plans to use the partnership to improve security, operations, and global payment network scale.
- The deal follows dtcpay’s stablecoin shift and BitGo’s wider push into regulated crypto services globally.
In a Tuesday announcement, the companies said the deal will let dtcpay use BitGo Singapore’s infrastructure to improve operations, strengthen asset security, and expand its payment network. They did not disclose financial terms.
Meanwhile, BitGo Singapore is a subsidiary of BitGo Holdings, the digital asset infrastructure company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under BTGO. The unit is licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore as a Major Payment Institution for Digital Payment Token Service and Cross-border Money Transfer Service.
dtcpay is a Singapore-headquartered digital payments company. It says it is building a licensed payment network that supports real-time settlement, competitive pricing, and premium financial services across several markets.
dtcpay to use regulated BitGo tools
Under the partnership, dtcpay plans to use BitGo Singapore’s digital asset infrastructure as it builds out its global payment network. The companies said the work will focus on stronger operational capacity, better asset security, and wider payment connectivity.
Angela Ang, managing director of BitGo Singapore, said dtcpay plays a role in “real-world digital asset adoption.” She said BitGo Singapore’s role is to provide “secure and regulated infrastructure” as dtcpay expands into new markets.
Alice Liu, founder and chief executive of dtcpay, said “trust and compliance are non-negotiable” in digital payments. She said BitGo Singapore’s regulated infrastructure gives dtcpay a base to scale its network.
Regulated payments remain the focus
The partnership follows dtcpay’s earlier move toward stablecoin payments. As previously reported by crypto.news, dtcpay said it would stop supporting Bitcoin and Ethereum payments in 2025 and focus on stablecoins for payment services.
That shift was later seen in retail use. As crypto.news reported earlier, Singapore department store chain Metro partnered with dtcpay to enable stablecoin payments using USDT, USDC, and WUSD, with plans to add FDUSD.
Payment use in Singapore has also risen. A Triple-A survey cited in earlier coverage said crypto ownership reached 26% in 2024, while 52% of holders had used digital assets to pay for goods and services. That gives payment firms a larger local base to serve now.
The new BitGo Singapore partnership adds another layer to that strategy. Instead of focusing only on which assets users can spend, the companies are now pointing to custody, settlement, compliance, and payment network reliability.
BitGo expands regulated service push
BitGo has been widening its regulated infrastructure business across different markets. The company says it offers custody, wallets, staking, trading, financing, stablecoins, and settlement services from regulated cold storage.
The Singapore deal also follows BitGo’s European compliance push. As reported today, BitGo introduced MiCA-compliant infrastructure for European crypto firms facing the EU licensing deadline.
That service lets eligible firms use BitGo’s regulated custody and wallet infrastructure while they continue to seek their own licenses. The company positioned the offering as a way to help firms keep operating under stricter rules.
The dtcpay deal fits the same wider direction. BitGo is supplying regulated infrastructure, while payments firms and crypto companies use that base to serve customers in markets where licensing and asset security are key.
BitGo Singapore and dtcpay also said they plan to explore more work together. Future areas may include infrastructure, connectivity, and ecosystem partnerships across regulated digital asset markets.
