Partnership with Figment brings regulated HYPE staking to HyperCORE, strengthening Anchorage Digital’s reach across the Hyperliquid ecosystem
Anchorage Digital is deepening its presence within the Hyperliquid ecosystem, rolling out HYPE staking support on HyperCORE through a newly announced partnership with staking infrastructure provider Figment. The expansion complements Anchorage’s existing HYPE custody services on HyperEVM, giving institutions a fuller suite of tools to participate in the network.
Anchorage Adds Regulated Staking to Its Hyperliquid Offering
The new service allows institutions to stake HYPE through Anchorage Digital Bank in the United States and Anchorage Digital Singapore, which holds a Major Payment Institution license. Staking will also be made available through Porto, the firm’s self-custody wallet.
A senior Anchorage executive described the move as a major step forward, saying “Institutions increasingly want secure, regulated pathways into onchain yield. Expanding HYPE staking allows us to meet that demand across the full Hyperliquid architecture.”
The partnership with Figment ensures validator operations are managed by a specialist provider known for institutional-grade infrastructure.
(Important line) With custody and staking now available on both HyperEVM and HyperCORE, Anchorage Digital can support a wider range of DeFi activity and additional HyperEVM tokens such as Kinetiq.
Hyperliquid, a Layer-1 blockchain built for high-speed decentralized exchange activity, separates execution between HyperEVM for Ethereum-compatible smart contracts and HyperCORE for native staking functionality.
Anchorage Deepens Institutional DeFi Services
The rollout comes just two days after Anchorage revealed a partnership with Mezo, a platform offering Bitcoin-backed borrowing, adding to its growing list of institutional DeFi integrations.
The institutional interest is reflected in wider activity across the sector:
- Crypto.com introduced stablecoin-earning opportunities via Morpho on Cronos.
- Coinbase integrated Morpho directly into its app, enabling USDC holders to earn yields up to 10.8% without leaving the platform.
- Threshold upgraded its tBTC bridge, streamlining how institutions mint tBTC across supported chains using a single Bitcoin transaction.
(Important line) A Binance Research report found DeFi lending protocols grew more than 72% from January to early September, driven by rising institutional use of stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets.
Anchorage Digital, founded in 2017, remains the only federally chartered crypto bank in the United States — a position that places it at the center of institutional adoption as onchain finance accelerates.
