Anchorage Digital, the first federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., has expanded its TRON Network support with native TRX staking and custody for TRC-20 assets, effective July 15, 2026. The move allows institutions to stake TRX directly through the regulated platform and gain broader access to tokens issued on TRON, which hosts over $90 billion in USDT stablecoin supply.
Native Staking and Broader Asset Support
Institutions can now stake TRX through Anchorage Digital, earning protocol staking rewards while maintaining the security and regulatory standards they require. Rewards vary based on validator selection and platform fees. The expansion also includes support for TRC-20 assets, giving institutions access to a wider range of tokens on the TRON network.
Earlier this year, Anchorage Digital added custody support for TRON, allowing institutions to hold TRX via its regulated platform and Porto, its self-custody wallet. Today's launch builds on that foundation, adding native staking and broader ecosystem support.
Institutional Demand Drives Expansion
“Institutions are looking for the ability to participate in leading networks where on-chain activity and adoption continue to grow,” said Nathan McCauley, Co-Founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital. “TRX staking is another step in our commitment to supporting the digital asset ecosystems our clients care about. By adding native staking alongside custody, we’re giving institutions a compliant way to engage more deeply with TRON, a network that sits at the center of the stablecoin economy.”
Justin Sun, Founder of TRON, added: “Expanding support with Anchorage Digital is an important milestone for the TRON ecosystem and the institutions building on it. Custody is the first step, but staking allows institutions to become active participants in the network. Secure, regulated infrastructure is what helps turn institutional interest into participation.”
TRON's Growing Role in Stablecoin Settlement
TRON has become a leading blockchain for stablecoin settlement, with the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT), currently exceeding $90 billion. The network has over 392 million total user accounts, processed more than 14 billion transactions, and reached over $26 billion in total value locked.
As institutional adoption of digital assets grows, Anchorage Digital's expanded TRON integration provides secure, regulated access to one of the world's most active blockchain networks. The integration broadens institutional participation in the TRON ecosystem, while TRON continues to strengthen infrastructure supporting stablecoin settlement and on-chain financial activity.
