Anchorage Expands Regulated Staking with TRX Support

Anchorage Digital has expanded its regulated staking services to include native TRX staking for institutional clients, supporting the Tron network. This update allows clients to earn protocol rewards while keeping their assets within Anchorage's custody environment or using their existing Porto self-custody setup.

This move reflects a broader industry trend of custody providers bundling staking capabilities into institutional workflows in response to demand for regulated yield generation from blockchain networks. Tron processed $2 trillion in USDT transfers during Q1 2026, with nearly $90 billion of USDT currently circulating on the network.

Anchorage's decision aligns with a growing trend across crypto infrastructure, as institutional platforms expand staking capabilities to offer regulated routes for earning yield. This includes recent developments such as Coinbase and Figment broadening their staking partnership and Ripple integrating Figment and Securosys into its institutional custody stack.

The expansion of staking access is driven by increasing demand from institutional investors, who seek simplified staking participation without re-engineering their custody operations. By offering TRX staking in a regulated custody-integrated format, Anchorage positions staking participation as another layer around the Tron network.
