Bitcoin Trading Counterparty financial
"BitGo Prime will serve as a "Bitcoin Trading Counterparty" for the Fund"
segregated custody accounts financial
"BitGo will establish and maintain one or more segregated custody accounts"
Segregated custody accounts are accounts where a custodian holds an investor’s assets separately from the custodian’s own assets and from other clients’ holdings, like keeping each person’s valuables in their own locked box. This separation reduces the risk that an investor’s securities or cash could be used to meet the custodian’s obligations or mixed up in another client’s position, making recovery and tracking simpler and safeguarding investor funds.
indemnify financial
"The Custodial Services Agreement requires the Fund to indemnify BitGo and certain of its affiliates"
To indemnify means to promise to cover or reimburse someone for losses, costs, or legal claims that arise from a specified action or event. For investors, indemnification shifts potential financial risk—like a safety net or warranty—so a party that agrees to indemnify protects others from unexpected liabilities, which can affect a company’s future expenses, deal terms, and perceived investment risk.
gross negligence financial
"the Bitcoin Trading Counterparty may be liable for its gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct"
