Individual investors can now access alternative investment opportunities previously reserved for institutional investors and high net worth individuals.
BitGo Trust Company, a leading infrastructure provider of digital asset solutions, has partnered with Republic, the market-leading private investing platform for alternative assets, to break down barriers to institutional-grade investments, making them accessible to all levels of investors, including retail and non-accredited participants. BitGo’s innovative services are strengthening Republic’s blockchain powered infrastructure to support secure and seamless investments in private markets.
Republic has recently announced access to Hamilton Lane Private Infrastructure Fund (“HLPIF”), to its broad user base of alternative assets investors with a minimum investment of just $500, backed by the innovative financial infrastructure of BitGo.

Leveraging its industry-leading blockchain architecture, Republic is at the forefront of modernizing private market investments. With plans to make HLPIF available in a tokenized format, Republic tapped BitGo as the custodial partner, as it is perfectly equipped to provide essential onchain and offchain infrastructure to benefit retail investors.
BitGo serves as the one-of-a-kind solution that is able to offer the regulated services that are required to manage securities, as well as the wallet infrastructure and blockchain connectivity to support tokenized assets.
“The private markets have long been dominated by large, institutional investors,” says Andrew Durgee, Co-CEO of Republic. “Republic’s industry leading blockchain architecture enables participation in institutional grade assets by all levels of investors. BitGo is a key partner for us as its fully operational stack allows us to push the boundaries of legacy financial offerings and offer our users the kind of forward-looking investment opportunities that we pride ourselves on.”

Republic’s longstanding relationship with BitGo exemplifies a unique ability to provide investment infrastructure for alternative assets, including private investments.
“Bringing the needed infrastructure to Republic in order to offer its investors access to never-before reachable assets is what BitGo is all about,” says Mike Belshe, CEO and co-founder of BitGo. “BitGo is most known for custodying digital assets, but our infrastructure is also able to power regulated securities, whether tokenized onchain or on pieces of paper offchain. Financial markets are progressively moving onchain, and BitGo is uniquely positioned to be the backbone of that transition every step of the way.”
