Anchorage Digital expands Tron support with institutional TRX staking
Anchorage Digital has launched native TRX staking for institutional clients, extending its Tron support beyond custody. Clients can stake TRX directly from Anchorage’s custody platform or Porto self-custody wallet and earn protocol rewards without leaving the regulated custody setup. The move targets growing institutional demand for compliant staking access, especially around Tron’s role in USDt settlement. Anchorage cited Tron’s heavy network usage and large USDT circulation as evidence of demand. The rollout fits a broader industry shift: crypto infrastructure firms are moving from custody-only services to integrated custody-plus-staking offerings. Recent examples include Coinbase and Figment expanding institutional staking access, Ripple adding staking infrastructure through partners, and BitGo supporting custody and staking for 21shares products. Bitmine has also opened its staking infrastructure to external institutions after building it for its own Ether treasury.
