What it means

Users and customers who rely on BitGo for custody now see the company putting more weight on trading, lending, settlement, and prime brokerage. That means tomorrow morning the business mix is broader than storage alone, and people interacting with BitGo will notice a heavier focus on market-facing services.

In practice, BitGo is no longer framed only as a custody provider; the company is positioning trading, lending, settlement, and prime brokerage as central revenue lines. What remains the same is that these are still BitGo services, but the emphasis has shifted from holding assets to handling more active financial functions. (per cryptobriefing.com)
