Accelerating our pace of asset support to meet the needs of institutions and blockchain builders
Diogo Mónica and Nathan McCauley
Anchorage Digital is pleased to announce weâve added 31 new assets from Q4 2021 to date.
Anchorage has always been committed to bringing institutions early participation in protocols that meet our stringent standards for compliance, engineering, and more. We are excited to grow alongside each protocol team, from asset support, to treasury management, and to offer continued support as protocols upgrade and develop new features to their blockchains such as staking and governance. We continue to see a rapid increase in institutional participation in digital assets and more demand for a variety of supported assets.
Anchorage looks forward to continuing to meaningfully scale our ability to support new assets, and we are honored to provide both protocols and institutions the secure and regulated services of our federally chartered bank.
