On July 14, 2026, Anchorage Digital, recognized as America's first federally chartered crypto bank, unveiled its expanded support for the TRON Network. This update introduces native TRX staking and custody services for TRC-20 assets, primarily designed for institutional clients.
With this new offering, institutions can securely hold TRON-based assets while actively participating in network staking through the same trusted platform they currently utilize for digital asset management. This capability allows them to earn staking rewards directly from the TRON protocol while adhering to established regulatory practices.
Institutions now have easier access to TRC-20 tokens, broadening their participation in the burgeoning TRON ecosystem. Earlier this year, Anchorage Digital had already enabled custody support for TRON, allowing institutions to manage TRX through both their regulated platform and the self-custody option, Porto.
Nathan McCauley, Co-Founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital, emphasized, "Institutions are looking for the ability to participate in leading networks where on-chain activity and adoption continue to grow. TRX staking is another step in our commitment to supporting the digital asset ecosystems our clients care about."
Justin Sun, founder of TRON, highlighted the importance of this integration, stating, "Expanding support with Anchorage Digital is an important milestone for the TRON ecosystem and the institutions building on it. Secure, regulated infrastructure turns institutional interest into participation." As TRON remains a key player in stablecoin settlements, with its USD Tether (USDT) supply surpassing $90 billion, the network's total user accounts have climbed to over 392 million, showcasing continued interest in this digital asset landscape.
