BitGo APAC regulated crypto custody: ex-MAS Angela Ang leads Singapore expansion

BitGo appointed Angela Ang as Managing Director of APAC and President of BitGo Singapore to accelerate regulated crypto infrastructure growth across Asia-Pacific. Ang previously spent over 10 years at Singapore’s Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and later led APAC Public Policy and Strategic Partnerships at TRM Labs. BitGo said Ang met all regulatory and “fit-and-proper” requirements before taking the role. Her focus includes business growth and operational infrastructure for institutional services such as custody, wallets, trading, financing, settlement, staking, and stablecoin infrastructure. The appointment supports BitGo’s broader push for compliance as banks and payment firms increasingly prefer regulated providers. BitGo Singapore—where Ang will be based—is regulated by MAS as a Major Payment Institution. Recent regional moves include a dtcpay partnership for custody, settlement, security and payment network support, plus a Moon partnership for Bitcoin-linked prepaid card products across Asia. Separately, BitGo is publicly listed under the BTGO ticker after assets under custody reportedly reached $100bn in 1H 2025. For traders, the key point is that this BitGo APAC leadership change is aimed at strengthening regulatory-grade execution and institutional-grade custody access. It is unlikely to be a direct token-price catalyst, but it can improve sentiment around compliant market infrastructure.
