Anchorage Digital

Anchorage Digital is a U.S. financial technology company focused on institutional digital-asset infrastructure and financial services. Founded in 2017 by Nathan McCauley and Diogo Mónica, the company serves institutional investors, financial institutions, corporations, and digital-asset projects. Its offerings include digital-asset custody, trading, staking, governance, and financing-related services. Rather than primarily targeting retail users with a consumer trading app, Anchorage positions itself as infrastructure for institutions that need to hold, manage, and use digital assets. Anchorage Digital Bank National Association received a national trust bank charter from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in 2021, becoming the first federally chartered digital-asset-native bank in the United States. The charter supports regulated institutional custody activities, subject to applicable law, regulatory permissions, and product terms. Anchorage Digital remains positioned as an institutional digital-asset services and custody provider in the U.S. market.

Anchorage Digital was founded in 2017 by Nathan McCauley and Diogo Mónica, initially focusing on secure digital-asset storage and infrastructure for institutional users. As demand grew among institutional investors for custody, trading, and compliance-oriented digital-asset services, the company expanded into a broader platform covering custody, trading, staking, governance, and other institutional offerings. In 2021, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency approved a national trust bank charter for Anchorage Digital Bank National Association. The regulatory development made Anchorage one of the earlier digital-asset companies to operate within a federal banking framework in the United States and reinforced its positioning as an institutional custody provider. The company subsequently continued operating under the Anchorage Digital brand, emphasizing security controls, compliance infrastructure, and institutional operating capabilities. Because digital-asset regulation continues to evolve, the products available, customers served, and geographic scope of its activities remain subject to regulatory permissions and applicable law.
