Asset Protection and Custody with Anchorage Digital 

Anchorage Digital is designed to provide institutional-grade asset protection and custody, combining cutting-edge technology, robust insurance, and stringent regulatory compliance to safeguard your digital assets. Here’s how Anchorage Digital ensures your assets are secure, compliant, and effectively managed: 

  1. Multi-Signature Security for Uncompromised Protection. 

  2. Anchorage Digital employs advanced multi-signature (multi-sig) technology, requiring multiple private keys to authorize any transaction. This ensures no single party can access or transfer your assets unilaterally, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access, fraud, or theft. By leveraging multi-sig protocols, Anchorage provides a fortress-like defense against external and internal threats. 

  3. Comprehensive End-to-End Insurance 

Anchorage Digital offers a robust $100M crime insurance policy that covers losses from cybercrime, collusion, or fraudulent transfers. This coverage spans the entire asset lifecycle, whether stored in cold or hot storage, providing peace of mind that your assets are protected against unlikely but potential risks. This industry-leading insurance underscores Anchorage’s commitment to financial security. 

  1. Bankruptcy Protection and Asset Segregation 

Assets custodied with Anchorage Digital are held in trust, fully segregated from Anchorage’s balance sheet. This structure ensures your assets remain protected and accessible even in the event of a bank failure or insolvency. By prioritizing bankruptcy-remote custody, Anchorage guarantees that your assets are yours alone, insulated from corporate risks. 

  1. Institutional-Grade Cold Storage 

Anchorage Digital stores your assets in a segregated cold storage vault, purpose-built for maximum security. These offline vaults are fortified with advanced cryptographic protections and physical safeguards, minimizing exposure to online threats. Funding instructions are seamlessly facilitated through Onramp, ensuring secure and efficient asset transfers while maintaining institutional-grade security standards. 

  1. Stringent Regulatory Oversight and Compliance 

As a federally chartered trust bank regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Anchorage Digital adheres to rigorous capital requirements, regular audits, and industry best practices. This regulatory framework ensures your assets are managed with the highest standards of transparency, financial stability, and security. External audits further validate Anchorage’s operational integrity, giving you confidence in their custodianship. 

  1. Comprehensive Asset Management Services 

Beyond security, Anchorage Digital provides end-to-end asset management, including meticulous financial reporting, compliance with regulatory requirements, and regular audits. These services ensure your assets are not only secure but also fully aligned with legal and financial standards, streamlining your operational needs while maintaining institutional-grade oversight. 

By combining multi-signature technology, segregated cold storage, comprehensive insurance, bankruptcy protection, and OCC-regulated compliance, Anchorage Digital delivers a custody solution designed to be secure and operationally efficient. Your assets are not just protected, they’re managed with precision, transparency, and trust. For more details, visit Anchorage Digital
