Overview
- Anchorage Digital launched regulated custody for TRON’s TRX on its U.S. platform and through its Porto institutional wallet, creating a compliant option for large investors.
- Support will roll out in phases, with custody for TRC-20 tokens on TRON and native TRX staking announced for later stages with timelines not yet disclosed.
- The federal charter matters because many funds and banks require a nationally supervised custodian, which removes a key compliance hurdle to holding TRX.
- TRON hosts about $86 billion in stablecoins such as USDT, so future TRC-20 custody could let corporate treasuries manage stablecoin payments on the network inside regulated accounts.
- The development follows Justin Sun’s $10 million SEC settlement this month without an admission of wrongdoing, and early reporting showed mixed TRX price moves as real institutional use takes shape.
