The expansion is designed to bring fiat and digital asset operations into the same platform rather than requiring institutions to use separate providers for banking, custody, trading and settlement.
Clients can access institutional USD accounts, named virtual accounts with unique routing details, SWIFT transfers and Anchorage Digital’s Atlas settlement network alongside the firm’s digital asset custody and trading services.
“Global businesses should not have to choose between the speed of digital assets and the reliability of traditional banking rails,” Anchorage Digital CEO and co-founder Nathan McCauley said.
The company said the service is aimed at global trading firms, crypto exchanges, protocols, neobanks, banks, asset managers, family offices and corporates operating across multiple markets.
The move also expands Anchorage Digital’s presence in Asia Pacific, where the company said institutional demand for digital asset infrastructure continues to grow.
Standard Chartered Global Head of Fintech Luke Boland said the partnership combines the bank’s payments and risk infrastructure with Anchorage Digital’s regulated platform to make it easier for institutional firms to manage fiat and digital assets across borders.
Anchorage Digital said the broader goal is to consolidate payments, custody, trading and settlement into a single institutional platform as traditional banking rails and blockchain infrastructure increasingly converge.
