TRON Lands on Anchorage Digital as Institutions Eye TRX Custody

TRON joins Anchorage for secure TRX custody and staking, boosting U.S. institutional access to blockchain networks.

TRON has secured a major institutional milestone. Anchorage Digital, home to America’s first federally chartered crypto bank, announced support for the TRON blockchain. 

The move brings regulated custody infrastructure to one of crypto’s most widely used networks. Institutions can now hold TRX, TRON’s native token, through Anchorage Digital’s compliant platform. 

More features are on the way in subsequent phases.

TRON and Anchorage Digital Push for Regulated Crypto Infrastructure

The integration marks a broader push to bring TRON into U.S. institutional frameworks. Anchorage Digital will offer TRX custody as the first phase of a staged rollout. 

Support for TRC-20 assets and native TRX staking will follow in later phases.

Nathan McCauley, Co-Founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital, addressed the move directly. He noted that TRON plays an important role in the growth of digital assets and stablecoins. 

He also highlighted that institutions need trusted infrastructure to participate in the network securely.

TRON founder Justin Sun confirmed the news on X, noting that TRX is now live on Anchorage. 

Sun also shared that trusted infrastructure has become essential as institutional blockchain participation deepens. Anchorage Digital, he said, provides a regulated foundation for secure institutional access.

The partnership reflects a wider industry trend. Major blockchain networks are increasingly aligning with regulated financial infrastructure to attract institutional capital.

TRC-20 Assets and TRX Staking Set to Follow in Later Phases

The launch does not stop at basic custody. 

Anchorage Digital has outlined plans to expand TRON support across multiple phases. TRC-20 asset custody and native TRX staking will become available to institutional users down the line.

TRC-20 support carries particular weight in the stablecoin space. TRON ranks among the most active networks for stablecoin issuance and transfers globally. 

Enabling institutions to custody TRC-20 tokens gives them access to a critical piece of the global digital payments ecosystem.

Native TRX staking will allow institutional participants to engage with TRON’s validator ecosystem. 

This adds another layer of utility for institutions beyond simple asset storage. It signals a shift toward deeper institutional participation in blockchain network operations.

Anchorage Digital also supports self-custody through Porto, its proprietary wallet. Porto will extend TRON support alongside the main platform, giving institutions flexible custody options.
