NEW YORK, March 26 — Anchorage Digital said it will add support for the Tron network, expanding access for U.S. investors to custody its native token through a federally regulated platform, according to a Reuters report.
The San Francisco-based firm, which operates as the only federally chartered crypto bank in the United States, provides custody, settlement and infrastructure services to financial institutions including hedge funds and other market participants.
Regulated platform extends access to Tron network
With the integration, Anchorage clients will be able to custody TRX, also known as tronix, within a regulated U.S. framework. The move introduces the Tron network into infrastructure used by market participants operating under compliance and custody requirements.
Anchorage said the addition is intended to expand access to the Tron network through a platform subject to U.S. federal oversight.
Development follows SEC settlement with Justin Sun
The development follows a settlement earlier in March between Justin Sun and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Sun agreed to pay $10 million to resolve charges brought by the regulator. According to the SEC, the settlement was reached without admission or denial of wrongdoing.
Sun, founder of the Tron network, said the integration with Anchorage would expand institutional access to the ecosystem through regulated infrastructure.
U.S. access shifts toward regulated channels
U.S. investors have historically accessed Tron’s token primarily through decentralized exchanges, where transactions are conducted directly on blockchain networks without centralized intermediaries.
The addition of Tron to Anchorage’s platform introduces an alternative access route through a regulated intermediary, aligning the network with custody and compliance frameworks used by market participants.
The Tron Foundation, which oversees the network, is based in Singapore.
