BitGo and Kalshi Prime launch crypto-backed margin financing
BTGO•BitGo and Kalshi Prime launched HODL Margining, which lets eligible customers use loans secured by digital assets to fund U.S. dollar margin obligations without selling their crypto holdings.
1. How the service works
BitGo subsidiary BitGo Bank & Trust is the network’s first custodian, holding pledged assets in segregated client accounts. Kalshi Katalyst provides U.S. dollar loans secured by eligible digital assets and deposits the proceeds into borrowers’ Kalshi Prime accounts to fund margin.
2. Customer access
Customers retain legal ownership of pledged assets, subject to the lender’s security interest, while accessing perpetual futures and other eligible margin products.
