what's anchorage digital?

Anchorage Digital is a leading digital asset platform providing custody, trading, and staking services tailored for institutional investors. As the first and only federally chartered crypto bank in the United States, it operates under strict regulatory oversight from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), ensuring high standards of security and compliance. The platform combines advanced technology with traditional banking principles to safeguard client assets, using features like air-gapped hardware security modules for key storage and multi-party computation for transaction approvals. The custody solution at Anchorage Digital supports a wide range of digital assets across multiple blockchains, enabling institutions to securely hold, transfer, and utilize cryptocurrencies without compromising on safety. It also offers integrated services such as staking for proof-of-stake networks and over-the-counter trading, allowing seamless management of portfolios. By segregating client assets and providing bankruptcy protections, Anchorage emphasizes institutional-grade infrastructure that mitigates risks associated with self-custody. Beyond core custody, Anchorage Digital facilitates innovation in the crypto space through partnerships with major players like BlackRock and Tether, supporting tokenized assets and stablecoin issuance. Its global presence, including operations in Singapore, extends these services to international clients while maintaining equivalent security standards.
