Anchorage Digital and Stablecoin Standard Unite to Accelerate Stablecoin Innovation

Stablecoins represent a foundational shift in how value moves around the world—offering a fast, inclusive alternative to traditional payment rails. From enabling real-time cross-border remittances to powering on-chain commerce and programmable finance, their impact is already felt across emerging markets and institutional corridors alike. 

As regulatory frameworks solidify in the U.S. and adoption accelerates globally, Anchorage Digital, home to the only U.S. federally chartered crypto bank, Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A., is stepping forward. In partnership with Stablecoin Standard, the industry body for stablecoin issuers globally, we’re helping shape the future of the stablecoin ecosystem through trusted infrastructure, industry collaboration, and forward-looking thought leadership—ensuring institutions can build, scale, and lead with confidence.

To advance this shared vision, Stablecoin Standard has appointed Sergio Mello, Head of Stablecoins at Anchorage Digital, to its Advisory Board—underscoring both organizations’ commitment to establishing clear, consistent guidelines that drive stablecoin adoption in the US and globally. 

“Stablecoins aren’t just digital representations of the U.S. dollar—they’re an evolution of it. They enable the dollar to move at internet speed, settle across borders in real time, and support everything from peer-to-peer payments to DeFi and institutional capital markets. I’m honored to join the Stablecoin Standard advisory group to help shape this critical transformation.”
— Sergio Mello, Head of Stablecoins, Anchorage Digital

We believe that treating stablecoins like strategic infrastructure is essential to maintaining U.S. dollar dominance in the 21st century. As adoption accelerates, institutional-grade custody, trading, compliance, and issuance pathways will be crucial for safeguarding users and strengthening the broader economy.

"We are proud to welcome Anchorage Digital as a Gold Partner to Stablecoin Standard. —They are a pioneer and leader in digital asset innovation, from being the only OCC chartered bank, to trading, settlements, and more. Anchorage Digital’s expertise in secure and regulated infrastructure is a perfect complement to the Stablecoin Standard’s mission of fostering trust and best practices in the stablecoin ecosystem. By joining forces, we can strengthen the foundation for adoption of digital money, ensuring stability for the benefit of issuers, policymakers, and the broader financial community."  
— Ramy Soliman, Co-Founder, Stablecoin Standard 

Recently, we announced plans to acquire Mountain Protocol, the Bermuda Monetary Authority regulated company behind the USDM stablecoin, with an aim to empower institutions to become leaders in stablecoins and digital assets. are also proud to be an initial member of the Global Dollar Network (GDN), a coalition advancing the adoption of safe, trusted stablecoins. At the center of this effort is USDG, a U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoin substantively compliant with the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s stablecoin framework. Anchorage Digital supports USDG, including USDG on Solana, with seamless minting and redemption, institutional trading, rewards, and settlement infrastructure, meeting the highest standards of trust and compliance.
