Anchorage Digital adds TRX staking on July 14 for institutional clients

Anchorage Digital, a regulated crypto custodian, on July 14 enabled institutional clients to stake Tron's TRX token directly from its custody platform, expanding support for one of the largest USDT settlement networks.

The expansion adds Tron to Anchorage's roster of supported staking networks, the company said in a statement. Anchorage Digital is a regulated custody platform serving institutional investors, offering staking services across multiple blockchain networks under federal oversight.

Tron ranks among the largest blockchain networks for USDT settlement, processing a significant share of stablecoin transfer volume globally, according to TronScan. The network's native token, TRX, is used for transaction fees and staking on the Tron blockchain, with stakers earning yields for helping secure the network.

By enabling TRX staking through a regulated custodian, Anchorage lowers the barrier for institutional capital to earn yields on Tron, potentially increasing staking participation and TRX demand. The move strengthens Tron's positioning as a settlement layer for institutional-grade stablecoin transfers, where it competes with Ethereum and Solana for USDT flow. Tether's USDT on Tron has become a dominant vehicle for cross-border transfers, and adding staking yield within a compliant custody framework may attract more institutional holders to the network.
