BitGo adds support for Margin Trading for users with Go Accounts. You can programmatically transfer assets from your Go Account to your Collateral Account and start trading with assets in your Margin Account. BitGo offers a one-click close feature, which allows you to close all your open positions with one API call.

BitGo adds a new trade enum value to the permission parameter that you can use to grant users trading privileges for a Go Account (wallet "type": "trading").
The new trade permission enables greater customization and control over what your enterprise users can do within your wallets. Users with the trade permission can initiate trades, but cannot initiate withdrawals from the Go Account or any other wallet.
With this update, the spend permission no longer grants trading privileges. To grant users trading privileges, you must update your integration to include the new trade permission.
Any user with the spend permission prior to this update retains their ability to initiate trades.

BitGo is migrating from the Bitcoin testnet3 to testnet4. The new Bitcoin testnet provides easier access to testnet bitcoin and lower transaction fees.
BitGo is deprecating support for Bitcoin testnet3 by end of year, 2024. Ensure streamlined support in your testing environment by updating your testnet integrations to use testnet4. To migrate, create tbtc4 wallets and update all instances in your code of tbtc to tbtc4.
BitGo streamlines the advanced integration flow for withdrawing from MPC hot wallets, removing the need for you to manually send half-signed transactions to BitGo. In addition, you now collect approvals before signing MPC transactions. Once a transaction is half-signed, it's automatically sent to BitGo for final signing and broadcasting to the blockchain.
