Deposits in TRX tokens will be available first, with support for stablecoins and staking to be added later
Anchorage Digital, the first federally licensed crypto bank in the U.S., announced that it is adding support for the Tron blockchain. This is a popular network for stablecoin transfers, but in recent years it has primarily operated outside the U.S.
As part of a phased integration, Anchorage will first support TRX token custody on its main platform and in the Porto institutional wallet. Support for other TRC-20 tokens and TRX staking will follow. Support for TRC-20 tokens means that institutional investors will be able to manage Tron-based stablecoins in their Anchorage accounts.
“Anchorage Digital provides a robust, regulated foundation that helps expand secure institutional access to the Tron ecosystem,” San said.
Since 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has accused Sun and his companies of violating securities laws, prompting exchanges Coinbase and Binance.US to delist TRX. However, with Donald Trump’s election as U.S. president in late 2024, things began to improve for Tron.
In July 2025, the Tron (TRON) blockchain platform went public through a merger with the American company SRM Entertainment. Earlier that month, the SEC dropped the charges filed against Sun and his companies. The defendants did not admit guilt but agreed to pay a $10 million fine.
Sun is a major investor in Trump’s family crypto ventures, including the meme coin TRUMP and the DeFi project World Liberty Financial. The U.S. Congress criticized the SEC for ending its investigation into Tron, claiming that the regulator allegedly favors crypto companies linked to Trump.
Last fall, the U.S. president pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao and dropped charges against the largest crypto exchange. Since the beginning of 2025, according to Politico, Binance has spent $860,000 on lobbying in the U.S.
