After abandoning the Prime Trust deal, BitGo CEO Mike Belshe has said that there are several other acquisitions in the pipeline.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an interview with CoinDesk TV, BitGO CEO said that they have got more acquisition pending which the company has not been able to announce yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Belshe predicted that there\u2019s going to be consolidation in the space over the next six months.<\/p>\n

The American-based crypto custodian platform cancelled the deal to acquire Prime Trust on June 22 amid the speculation of the company\u2019s bankruptcy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As reported earlier, the acquisition of Prime Trust by BitGo was expected to provide financial support to Prime Trust to deal with the ongoing bankruptcy challenges.<\/p>\n

BitGo CEO on Future Plans<\/h2>\n

During the interview, Belshe also talked about the future of BitGo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The California-based company was nearly acquired by Mike Novogratz’s crypto merchant bank Galaxy Digital. However, the $1.2 billion deal was cancelled in August 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The CEO said that they have received offers from time to time since the Galaxy\u2019s deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The crypto custody company is now more focused on growing its business rather than being acquired by a major player, Belshe added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Talking about Coinbase, which BlackRock (BLK) selected as custodian for its fund-management unit iShares’ proposed Bitcoin ETF, Belshe said that the American exchange is a public company and it’s got a very healthy balance sheet, so they do get some of those first movers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, it may at some point be required to separate its custody service from its trading business, BitGo CEO added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Belshe further added that Coinbase will have to eventually choose which side of the fence they want to be on; a custodian or an exchange.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Belshe revealed that BitGo is “talking to pretty much every big deal that’s out there” and even BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has his phone number.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
