The crypto custodian BitGo announced on Thursday it was terminating a planned acquisition of Prime Trust, a rival firm based in Nevada. Custodians safeguard digital assets on behalf of individuals and companies.
In an interview with Fortune, BitGo CEO Mike Belshe said that after signing a letter of intent with Prime Trust two weeks ago and conducting a due diligence process, it became clear that Prime Trust did not have the necessary financials to complete the deal.
