Anchorage Digital Launches Institutional TRX Staking, Expands Tron Support

Digital asset custodian Anchorage Digital has introduced native TRX staking for institutional clients, building on its earlier custody support for Tron’s native token as demand grows for regulated staking access.

Staking Now Available Directly From Custody

Clients can stake TRX straight from Anchorage’s custody platform or its Porto self custody wallet, letting them earn network rewards without moving assets outside their existing custody setup. Anchorage said the move reflects rising institutional interest in Tron, one of the largest networks for USDT settlement. The company noted Tron handled close to $2 trillion in USDT transfers during the first quarter of 2026, averaging 10.9 million daily transactions and 3.2 million active addresses, with nearly $90 billion in USDT currently circulating on the network, according to Tether’s transparency data.

Part of a Broader Staking Push

The Tron launch follows Anchorage’s November partnership with Figment to add HYPE staking support for the Hyperliquid ecosystem.

Industry-Wide Trend Toward Custody-Integrated Staking

Other major players have made similar moves. Coinbase expanded its Figment partnership in October 2025 to let Prime clients stake assets like Solana, Avalanche, Sui and Aptos. Ripple later integrated Figment and Securosys into its custody platform, while BitGo expanded its staking partnership with 21Shares for ETF products. Bitmine, meanwhile, launched its own MAVAN staking platform and recently disclosed holding 5.77 million ETH, about 4.8% of total supply, with 4.92 million ETH staked through the platform.
