Anchorage Digital launches stablecoin solution, providing international banks with on-chain USD settlement channels.

PANews reported on February 20th that, according to Financefeeds, crypto bank Anchorage Digital announced the launch of "Stablecoin Solutions" for international banks. This solution aims to provide non-US financial institutions with a US-regulated digital dollar infrastructure as an alternative to the traditional correspondent banking system. The solution integrates stablecoin issuance, compliant custody, fiat currency fund management, and blockchain-native settlement functions, allowing banks to realize cross-border transfers of dollar assets without relying on traditional correspondent banking networks. Anchorage stated that institutions can hold and settle tokenized dollar assets under its federal banking license.

Anchorage is the first crypto-native institution to obtain a U.S. federal banking license and is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). CEO Nathan McCauley stated that stablecoins are gradually becoming core financial infrastructure, and this solution provides banks with a pathway to global dollar flows via a blockchain track, while ensuring custody, compliance, and operational control. Anchorage's move is seen as an attempt to replace the traditional correspondent banking cross-border clearing system with a regulated stablecoin track. If adopted by international banks, dollar stablecoins may be further embedded in mainstream cross-border payment and fund management processes. However, its final implementation still depends on the clarity of regulatory details and the acceptance of tokenized liability structures by global banks.
