Also known as: Anchorage

Overview

Anchorage Digital describes itself as the first federally chartered crypto bank in the United States, holding a national trust bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) — a regulatory status distinct from the state money-transmitter licences most crypto custodians operate under, and the reason institutions treat it as bank-grade infrastructure rather than an exchange. Its offering is organised into three pillars: Prime, covering custody, trading, staking and rewards; Financial Infrastructure, covering fiat banking, settlement networks including Atlas, and wealth management; and Stablecoins, covering issuance and interbank transfer solutions. Its client roster, as displayed on anchorage.com in July 2026, includes BlackRock and Tether, and its investor logos include a16z, Apollo, GIC, Goldman Sachs, KKR and Visa, though the site publishes no funding amounts or valuation figures. The strategic significance of the OCC charter is that regulated US institutions — asset managers, banks, stablecoin issuers — can custody digital assets with a federally supervised entity rather than an offshore or state-licensed counterparty. Anchorage obtained a federal OCC charter, making it the first federally chartered crypto bank in the US, and has built out from custody into trading, staking, settlement (Atlas), fiat banking and stablecoin issuance and interbank transfer services.
