BitGo Integrates with Aave Lending Markets through Narval's Institutional Gateway

BitGo Bank & Trust has expanded its services by integrating with Aave lending markets through Narval's institutional DeFi gateway. This new partnership provides eligible institutions with a controlled access route to onchain liquidity, reducing operational friction and improving transaction visibility.

The integration is designed to cater to the needs of professional users who require a more structured approach to managing their digital assets in DeFi markets. By using BitGo's qualified custody wallets and Narval's institutional gateway, institutions can now supply assets, manage lending positions, and access onchain liquidity while maintaining internal controls around approvals and transaction visibility.

While the integration does not remove the inherent risks associated with DeFi lending, it provides a more controlled environment for institutions to interact with Aave. The launch is part of a broader trend in institutional DeFi lending, as exchanges and custodians increasingly turn DeFi lending into a backend for products familiar to professional users.
