The trusted digital asset platform for institutions.
An unequivocal qualified custodian
Assets secured within Anchorage Group Bank remain with a bankruptcy-remote qualified custodian throughout the lifecycle, with federal oversight by the OCC.
Private keys offline
Funds can leverage hardware security module-based secure custody with verifiable, transparent on-chain segregation of assets and private keys offline.
Rapid transaction processing
Our low-latency architecture means settlement occurs far faster than with the average cold storage provider, with 90% of transactions processed in under 25 minutes.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, staking, and more
Anchorage Group supports a broad range of assets; as the only federally chartered bank approved to offer staking, Anchorage Group Bank can also support ETFs that involve staking.
Streamlined creation and redemption
Funds, administrators, and transfer agents can use Anchorage Group’s APIs to efficiently and securely orchestrate in-kind and USD ETF share creation and redemption.
Comprehensive authorization flows
Anchorage Group validates client instructions for asset movement and organizational policy changes via a trusted three-phase process: transaction initiation and quorum authorization through biometrics and cryptographic signatures, transaction risk analysis and anomaly detection by Anchorage Group Bank, and transaction validation through hardware-enforced logic.
"We chose Anchorage Group for their unparalleled infrastructure, regulatory excellence, and secure custody solutions — essential pillars that support our mission to lead and grow in the digital asset space."
