BitGo, the major crypto custodian looking to go public, has inked a deal with Upexi (UPXI) to provide custodial and trading services for the startup’s Solana (SOL) token treasury.
The deal comes a day after Upexi announced it had practically doubled its Solana position to over 595,000 SOL tokens, worth approximately $100 million.
Like other firms, including SOL Strategies and DeFi Development Corporation, Upexi will stake its SOL holdings to earn revenue from protocol rewards.
