Anchorage Digital has introduced custody support for the TRON blockchain, giving U.S. institutions a regulated way to hold and manage TRX. The firm also plans to support TRC-20 tokens and native staking later, expanding access to one of the most active networks for stablecoin transfers.
According to the announcement, Anchorage Digital, the first crypto company with a U.S. banking charter, has introduced custody support for TRX, the native token of the TRON network. This allows institutions to securely hold TRX using Anchorage’s platform and its self-custody wallet, Porto, within a compliant U.S. framework.
The rollout will happen in phases. The first step includes custody for TRX. After that, Anchorage will add support for TRC-20 tokens built on TRON. The final stage will introduce native TRX staking, allowing institutions to earn rewards while helping validate the network.
This is the first time a federally chartered crypto infrastructure provider has integrated TRON in a regulated U.S. environment.
Anchorage Digital CEO Nathan McCauley said the move brings one of crypto’s largest ecosystems into an institutional setup, making it easier for traditional firms to access the network.
TRON has become one of the busiest blockchains for moving stablecoins and payments. The amount of stablecoins on the network has grown steadily over the past three years and now stands near $86 billion. This accounts for more than a quarter of the total stablecoin supply.
With regulated custody now available, institutions can access TRON more easily without dealing with technical or compliance risks. The integration removes a key barrier that previously limited institutional participation in the network.
Anchorage already supports major networks including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and BNB Chain. It also provides access to layer-2 networks such as Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and Linea. Adding TRON expands its coverage across high-activity ecosystems.
Anchorage’s move reflects a broader trend of regulated providers expanding blockchain support. The firm previously added networks like Sui and Aptos, suggesting regulatory clarity has been a bigger hurdle than technical readiness.
Meanwhile, institutional adoption continues to grow across the industry. Coinbase recently introduced a mortgage structure allowing borrowers to use crypto assets such as Bitcoin and USDC as collateral.
Together, these developments signal increasing integration between traditional finance and digital asset infrastructure.
Anchorage Digital now lets U.S. institutions securely hold TRX through a federally chartered, regulated platform the first of its kind for TRON.
Not yet, but native TRX staking is planned in a future phase, allowing institutions to earn rewards while supporting network validation.
Yes. Anchorage Digital holds a U.S. federal banking charter, making it the first crypto-native firm to offer TRON custody within a fully compliant U.S. framework.
