— Overview

Anchorage Digital operates the only federally chartered digital asset bank in the United States, holding an OCC national trust bank charter granted in 2021. This regulatory status makes Anchorage the default custody counterparty for institutional entities that require regulated infrastructure.

The platform supports 160+ digital assets across custody, trading, staking, governance, and lending — all within a single regulated entity. Institutional assets under custody crossed $52B in 2026, spread across 200+ institutional clients including major banks, asset managers, and public companies.

Anchorage's regulatory moat has proven durable through multiple market cycles. Where competitors have had to navigate shifting SEC and OCC positions, Anchorage's charter has provided consistent regulatory clarity for its clients.

— Our thesis

The only federally chartered digital asset bank in the US. We backed the Series B on the thesis that regulated custody would become a moat as institutional flows arrive.
