Recently, I focused on a crypto asset project in the US stock IPO market—BitGo. At first glance, this sector may not seem very exciting, but the data is quite interesting.



With a valuation of $1.7 to $2 billion, there is almost no premium space. More importantly, the P/S multiple is only 3.5x, which is not high compared to other projects in the same sector. The backing investors are strong—Founders Fund, well-known crypto investors, and current US government support. As a core cold wallet solution provider for mainstream exchanges, BitGo maintains a moat in the institutional-grade custody field.

The niche of crypto custody may seem insignificant on the surface, but as institutional participation expands, the demand for security and compliance becomes increasingly rigid. From Circle’s IPO performance, similar business models are gradually gaining recognition in the capital markets. This time, BitGo’s listing pace may just hit a turning point in market sentiment.

Ha, I knew that custody would eventually take off. The timing with BitGo is indeed quite good.

A solid moat project, the cold wallet positioning is indeed aggressive. The custody sector seems boring, but when institutions enter, they have to spend money... P/S at 3.5x is indeed not expensive. BitGo timed this move quite well; betting on it to capture this wave of institutional demand dividends.

The custody track is indeed easy to overlook, but the demand for institutional entry in this wave is real, and BitGo's moat is also there.

Custody has indeed been underestimated, but to be honest, a 3.5x PS isn't exactly cheap... It depends on whether the subsequent growth can be sustained.

The custody track has finally been understood by someone; previously, it was obscured by those flashy projects.

Cold wallets, this "black technology," are finally going to be launched. Some people really think this thing is boring... Actually, secretly holding all the funds of major institutions, the moat is not just deep.

Well, this logic makes sense, and cold wallets are indeed a necessity. The valuation of BitGo... feels quite reasonable, unlike some projects that are way off the mark. A 3.5x P/S compared to other players in the same industry isn't that exaggerated; it's somewhat interesting. Moats are the hardest to build, but this one actually has some substance.

3.5x P/S is really not expensive; cold wallets have long deserved more attention in this space.

Cold wallets are truly underestimated. When the institutional army really arrives, they'll realize how valuable security is.

Cold wallets in this sector are really underestimated; the custody demand will only grow... However, a valuation of 1.7-2 billion still feels okay, not particularly cheap, mainly depends on the subsequent institutional funding influx. The moat is indeed there, but I'm worried about sudden policy risks... BitGo's timing was quite good, and the path Circle has taken is now somewhat easier to navigate. The problem is that the premium space isn't really much; whether it can maintain this valuation after going public is the key.
