Anchorage is the premier digital asset platform for institutions. Founded in 2017 to meet the growing need for institutional custody that lets investors safely hold and use crypto, Anchorage has grown into a full-service financial platform and infrastructure provider for the digital asset space.
Co-founders Diogo Mónica and Nathan McCauley have worked on the forefront of security engineering for more than a decade. As early Square employees, they engineered software that now secures more than 100 billion dollars in transactions annually. At Docker, they helped secure the core infrastructure used in top banks, governments, and the world’s three largest cloud providers. Today, they are leading a team of the best and brightest minds in security, finance, and distributed systems to build the future of financial services and infrastructure.
Established in 2017 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Anchorage Digital is a digital asset platform providing custody, trading, and financing services, including staking and governance. The crypto-native digital asset platform provides solutions such as modern security engineering for secure crypto custody, trading, staking and governance, enabling businesses to streamline their investments through blockchain technology.
The company has raised $487 million in funding from investors like Visa and Andreessen Horowitz and counts as clients many of crypto’s funds, including Blockchain Capital, BlockTower, Polychain, and Paradigm.
Unlike cold storage custody, Anchorage is designed for active participation, so users can capture yield from staking and inflation and vote on governance questions concerning investments. Users can capture rewards with Anchorage Staking and vote on issues that impact their holdings through Anchorage Governance. With Anchorage Trading, users can access multiple venues via one onboarding. They can borrow crypto or USD against crypto collateral or lend and earn returns on assets under custody with Anchorage Financing.
