Anchorage Digital, co-founded by Nathan McCauley and Diogo Mónica, is the first federally chartered digital asset bank in the United States, providing secure custody, brokerage, and financial services for cryptocurrency and tokenized assets to institutional clients.

The company received a national trust charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in 2021, making it a unique regulated entity in the cryptocurrency space. Anchorage serves hundreds of institutional clients including asset managers, corporations, and protocols with billions in assets under custody. The company has raised hundreds of millions in venture funding from investors including Visa, Goldman Sachs, and Andreessen Horowitz. Anchorage's combination of technological sophistication-including hardware security modules and biometric authentication-with regulatory compliance positions it uniquely in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. As institutional adoption of digital assets grows, the need for regulated, secure custody solutions becomes increasingly critical. Anchorage's work addresses this essential infrastructure need, enabling institutional participation in digital assets while meeting regulatory requirements. The company represents the maturation of cryptocurrency infrastructure from early enthusiast products to institutional-grade financial services.
