Anchorage Digital Adds Native TRX Staking and TRC‑20 Custody

The move gives institutions regulated access to TRON assets so they can hold tokens and collect staking rewards under U.S. bank oversight.

Overview

  • Anchorage expanded its TRON integration from basic custody earlier this year to include custody for TRC‑20 tokens and native TRX staking on its regulated platform.
  • Staking is live but offered as a concierge service that requires coordination with a Relationship Manager and uses delegation to TRON’s Super Representatives.
  • Institutions face a mandatory 14‑day unbonding period when they unstake TRX, which creates a liquidity timing constraint for portfolio managers.
  • Anchorage’s offering places large TRON-based stablecoin flows inside a federally chartered U.S. crypto bank, linking institutional custody to a network that already holds tens of billions in USDT.
  • TRON’s delegated proof‑of‑stake model concentrates validation with elected Super Representatives, a governance and concentration tradeoff institutions must weigh against the yield opportunity.
