Founders & story · from Anchorage Digital’s own dossier

Founded in 2017 as an institutional crypto custody provider, Anchorage Digital obtained the first OCC national bank charter for a crypto company in 2021, establishing itself as the regulatory gold standard for digital asset custody. The company progressively expanded from pure custody into an integrated financial platform covering trading, staking, lending, settlement, and USD banking—aiming to be the single federally regulated operating layer for institutions interacting with digital assets. Most recently, it has pushed into stablecoin issuance for banks and 'Agentic Banking,' positioning its regulated infrastructure as the financial rails for AI-agent-driven commerce.
