Deutsche Börse’s Crypto Finance Launches AnchorNote for In‑Custody Settlement in Zurich

The tool lets institutions trade across multiple venues without pre‑funding exchange accounts by pledging assets held in regulated custody.

Overview

  • AnchorNote integrates BridgePort middleware to enable off‑exchange settlement and connectivity to several trading venues.
  • Collateral moves in real time while assets remain in custody, a design aimed at boosting capital efficiency and lowering counterparty risk.
  • Clients can establish dedicated trading lines and manage collateral via a dashboard or integrate directly through APIs for automated workflows.
  • The rollout starts in Switzerland with expansion to other European markets planned next.
  • Crypto Finance highlights its regulated posture in Switzerland and Germany, and reports cite FINMA oversight and a BaFin MiCAR license, with the company also claiming the model could unlock billions in idle capital.
