BitGo named Angela Ang, a former MAS deputy director, as APAC managing director and Singapore president, adding deep regulatory ties to its Asia expansion.
Alpha Score of 26 reflects poor overall profile with poor momentum, poor value, weak quality, strong sentiment.
BitGo appointed Angela Ang as Managing Director of APAC and President of BitGo Singapore, the digital asset infrastructure firm said. The hire gives the company a veteran of Singapore's financial regulatory apparatus as it deepens its Asia-Pacific footprint.
Ang spent over 10 years at the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the city-state's central bank and financial regulator. Her most recent role was Deputy Director overseeing licensing frameworks for payments and digital assets, according to BitGo's announcement. Before joining BitGo, Ang led APAC policy and strategic partnerships at TRM Labs, the blockchain intelligence and compliance firm, starting in early 2025.
She has already appeared in her new capacity. On June 16, BitGo Singapore announced a partnership with dtcpay focused on digital asset infrastructure, with Ang quoted as Managing Director.
BitGo received in-principle approval for a Major Payment Institution license from MAS in January 2024. The firm launched its Singapore services in November 2024, giving it a regulated base in one of Asia's most important financial hubs.
The broader corporate context adds heft. BitGo Holdings went public in January 2026, the first digital asset company IPO of the year. The company was subsequently named to the Fortune 500 at number 273, reporting $16.2 billion in revenue for 2025.
Ang's deep ties to MAS matter for institutional clients. Singapore requires licensed custodians and payment service providers to comply with strict anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing rules. A leadership team that includes a former senior regulator signals that BitGo knows the compliance playbook from the inside. That can be a differentiator in a market where regulatory missteps cost licenses and trust.
The appointment also aligns with a broader push by crypto firms to hire former regulators into senior roles. The pattern is similar to moves by Coinbase and Circle, both of which have brought on ex-MAS and ex-SEC officials in recent years. For BitGo, the hire strengthens its Singapore operation just as competition among licensed custodians in the region heats up.
