StableX Selects BitGo to Custody and Manage Its $100 Million Cryptocurrency Investment Treasury

StableX will use BitGo to securely manage its $100 million crypto treasury for DeFi investments.

The company rebranded from AYRO to StableX and shifted focus from vehicles to digital assets.

StableX has made its first crypto move by acquiring FLUID, a stablecoin-focused decentralized exchange.

StableX Technologies has partnered with BitGo to manage and secure its newly announced $100 million digital asset treasury. The agreement, confirmed in a press release on October 14, names BitGo Trust Company as the regulated custodian of the assets. This includes providing cold storage for digital currencies and granting StableX access to trading services via BitGo’s affiliated platforms.

The treasury initiative is aimed at gaining exposure to decentralized finance (DeFi) through select cryptocurrency investments. BitGo’s infrastructure will serve as the operational backbone of this strategy. The digital asset firm’s regulated trust structure played a key role in StableX’s decision, as regulatory compliance remains a high priority for the company’s new investment direction.

Rebranding and Strategic Shift

StableX has recently changed its name as part of its shift out of making vehicles. The rebrand was completed on August 25, 2025, with a Nasdaq ticker change to “SBLX.” This marked the official shift toward digital asset investments. The announcement followed shortly after the company revealed its plans to allocate $100 million into crypto-related assets.

The transformation positions StableX as a focused digital asset investor rather than a traditional manufacturer. This pivot reflects broader trends in the market, as traditional firms seek exposure to blockchain infrastructure. StableX’s treasury strategy underlines a long-term commitment to the digital finance sector.

First Crypto Acquisition Already Completed

As part of its initial investments, StableX acquired FLUID tokens on September 9. FLUID is a decentralized exchange focused on stablecoin liquidity. It enables fast, low-cost swaps between various stablecoins, a segment that continues to grow in transaction volume.

StableX identified FLUID as a strategic asset that fits its investment thesis. The company noted that FLUID handles nearly a third of all stablecoin swaps. It also generates significant monthly transaction fees. The acquisition highlights StableX’s focus on acquiring digital infrastructure tools rather than speculative tokens.

Security and Compliance Remain Central

The partnership with BitGo ensures a high level of asset protection through regulated, institutional-grade services. This includes cold storage, risk management systems, and trading support across regulated platforms. These services help maintain compliance while enabling efficient execution of the treasury strategy.

BitGo’s regulated status offers safeguards not always available with other custodians. BitGo recently filed for a confidential IPO as crypto firms move fast to enter public markets this year. StableX’s choice reflects a cautious but assertive approach to entering the digital asset space. With infrastructure and compliance in place, the company appears prepared to scale its exposure to DeFi.
