Anchorage Digital Launches One-Stop Stablecoin Hub for Banks

• Anchorage Digital enables banks to send USD globally using regulated stablecoin rails.
• Stablecoin Solutions combines minting, custody, and fiat settlement in one platform.
• Banks can mint, redeem, and manage multiple USD stablecoins under federal oversight.

Anchorage Digital just made a major move in the stablecoin space. The federally chartered crypto bank has launched Stablecoin Solutions for Banks. 

The new offering targets licensed international banks. It gives them a single, regulated platform for USD stablecoin issuance, custody, and cross-border settlement. This launch comes as the United States moves closer to finalizing the GENIUS Act.

A Single Platform for Stablecoin and Fiat

Before now, banks had to juggle multiple service providers to handle stablecoin activity.

Anchorage Digital changes that. Stablecoin Solutions bundles stablecoin minting, redemption, custody, fiat treasury management, and settlement into one place. 

Banks get access to both stablecoin and fiat wallets through a single federally regulated counterparty. That simplicity is a big deal for institutions managing complex cross-border dollar flows.

Cutting Settlement Times from Days to Minutes

Traditional cross-border payments rely on correspondent banking. They also depend on pre-funded nostro and vostro accounts. These systems are slow and tie up capital. 

Anchorage Digital says its platform replaces that model with programmable stablecoin balances. Transfers that once took days can now settle in minutes. The company also offers network fee protection options to help banks preserve the principal value of each transfer.

Federal Oversight Without the State-by-State Headache

Anchorage Digital holds a national trust bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of Currency. 

That means it operates under federal oversight, not a patchwork of state licenses. For international banks, this matters. They get a single regulatory framework instead of navigating dozens of state rules. 

Client assets sit in bankruptcy-remote, segregated accounts. They do not mix with the custodian’s own estate. Anchorage Digital reports it has secured tens of billions in digital assets over eight years.

Stablecoin-Agnostic Rails and GENIUS Act Readiness

The platform supports multiple USD stablecoins across major blockchain networks. Banks can natively mint and redeem stablecoins issued by Anchorage Digital Bank. Supported issuances include Tether’s USA₮, Ethena Labs’ USDtb, and OSL’s USDGO. 

Western Union’s USDPT is also listed as an upcoming addition. The company says the platform is stablecoin-agnostic, meaning it does not lock institutions into one token. 

Anchorage Digital adds that it is building with the GENIUS Act in mind. The legislation, if finalized, would create a clear federal framework for stablecoin issuers.

Kevin Wysocki, a team member at Anchorage Digital, took to social media to celebrate the launch. He said on X that the product is “exactly what Congress and the White House envisioned” when the GENIUS Act passed. He pointed to the firm’s OCC-regulated status as key to keeping the dollar competitive globally.

CEO Nathan McCauley framed the launch as an infrastructure play. He said stablecoins are becoming core financial infrastructure and that the goal is to modernize settlement without sacrificing compliance or custody standards.
