Anchorage Digital, the first federally chartered crypto bank in the United States, has added support for the Tron blockchain, enabling regulated institutional custody of TRX and laying the groundwork for future TRC‑20 token support and on-chain staking. Anchorage positions this move as bringing Tron “inside the regulatory perimeter,” giving institutions a compliant way to hold and eventually stake TRX and interact with Tron-based assets. According to Anchorage’s announcement, the integration is being rolled out in phases: the initial phase provides institutional custody for TRX, accessible through Anchorage’s regulated bank platform and its self‑custody solution, Porto. Subsequent phases are planned to add custody for TRC‑20 tokens issued on Tron and native TRX staking, which would allow institutions to participate in Tron’s validator ecosystem while keeping assets under Anchorage’s institutional-grade security, including multi‑party computation (MPC) and geographically distributed key management. Anchorage emphasizes that all services operate under U.S. banking, BSA, and AML compliance frameworks. This integration is significant because Tron is one of the largest public blockchains by usage metrics and a major venue for stablecoin activity, yet historically has had more limited access to U.S. regulated institutional infrastructure. By supporting Tron, Anchorage gives banks, fintechs, and other regulated entities a way to access Tron’s network within a supervised environment, potentially facilitating larger-scale participation in Tron-based payments, stablecoins, and DeFi while addressing institutional requirements around custody, compliance, and reporting.
