Anchorage Digital, the first federally chartered crypto bank in the US, has rolled out native TRX staking for institutional clients. The move completes a multi-phase integration that started with basic custody and now lets big-money players earn yield on Tron’s native token without leaving a regulated platform.
The supply of USDT on Tron has surpassed $85 billion as of early 2026, and the network processes trillions in stablecoin transfers annually. Anchorage clearly decided that where the money flows, compliance infrastructure should follow.
What the integration actually looks like
Anchorage first announced Tron support back on March 26, 2026, starting with straightforward TRX custody through its regulated platform and the Porto self-custody wallet. The initial phase also laid groundwork for custodial services covering TRC-20 assets, the token standard that includes the most widely circulated stablecoins on Tron.
The staking component came in a subsequent phase. Institutions can now freeze TRX, delegate it to Tron’s Super Representatives, claim staking rewards, and unwind their positions, all through Anchorage’s platform. The catch is that it’s currently a concierge service, meaning clients need to coordinate with a Relationship Manager to execute operations.
