TRON

<p>Anchorage Digital has introduced custody support for the TRON blockchain, giving U.S. institutions a regulated way to hold and manage TRX. The firm also plans to support TRC-20 tokens and native staking later, expanding access to one of the most active networks for stablecoin transfers.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-anchorage-digital-adds-tron-for-institutional-access">Anchorage Digital Adds TRON for Institutional Access</h2>
<p>According to the <a href="https://www.anchorage.com/insights/anchorage-digital-adds-support-for-tron-with-institutional-custody-and-staking-infrastructure?utm_source=linkedin_brand&amp;utm_medium=social_organic&amp;utm_campaign=tron" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announcement</a>, Anchorage Digital, the first crypto company with a U.S. banking charter, has introduced custody support for TRX, the native token of the TRON network. This allows institutions to securely hold TRX using Anchorage’s platform and its self-custody wallet, Porto, within a compliant U.S. framework.</p>
<p>The rollout will happen in phases. The first step includes custody for TRX. After that, Anchorage will add support for TRC-20 tokens built on TRON. The final stage will introduce native TRX staking, allowing institutions to earn rewards while helping validate the network.</p>
<p>This is the first time a federally chartered crypto infrastructure provider has integrated TRON in a regulated U.S. environment.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Anchorage Digital CEO Nathan McCauley said the move brings one of crypto’s largest ecosystems into an institutional setup, making it easier for traditional firms to access the network.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-tron-stablecoin-growth-drives-institutional-interest">TRON Stablecoin Growth Drives Institutional Interest</h3>
<p>TRON has become one of the busiest <a href="https://coinpedia.org/beginners-guide/what-is-blockchain/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blockchains</a> for moving <a href="https://coinpedia.org/glossary/stable-coin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stablecoins</a> and payments. The amount of stablecoins on the network has grown steadily over the past three years and now stands near $86 billion. This accounts for more than a quarter of the total stablecoin supply.</p>
<p>With regulated custody now available, institutions can access TRON more easily without dealing with technical or compliance risks. The integration removes a key barrier that previously limited institutional participation in the network.</p>
<p>Anchorage already supports major networks including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and BNB Chain. It also provides access to layer-2 networks such as Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and Linea. Adding TRON expands its coverage across high-activity ecosystems.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-institutional-crypto-access-continues-to-expand">Institutional Crypto Access Continues to Expand</h3>
<p>Anchorage’s move reflects a broader trend of regulated providers expanding blockchain support. The firm previously added networks like Sui and Aptos, suggesting regulatory clarity has been a bigger hurdle than technical readiness.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, institutional adoption continues to grow across the industry. Coinbase <a href="https://www.coinbase.com/en-in/blog/coinbase-powers-the-first-crypto-backed-conforming-mortgages-by-better" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">recently</a> introduced a mortgage structure allowing borrowers to use crypto assets such as Bitcoin and USDC as collateral.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Together, these developments signal increasing integration between traditional finance and digital asset infrastructure.</p>
