Anchorage Digital Bank Becomes the First Qualified Custodian for the Starknet Token: STRK Holders Gain Access to Institutional-Grade Custody and Staking
Anchorage Digital Bank, the only federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S, has launched staking support for Starknet’s native token, STRK. With this new capability, Anchorage Digital Bank becomes the first qualified custodian to offer institutional-grade custody and staking for STRK.
STRK custody and staking is also available through Anchorage Digital Singapore, a Major Payment Institution licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and Porto, Anchorage Digital’s self-custody wallet.
Starknet is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Bitcoin and Ethereum that uses zero-knowledge proofs to deliver high throughput and low fees. It unlocks the next generation of decentralized applications, giving builders and users a scalable foundation to build and interact with crypto applications.
Anchorage Digital has a long-standing relationship with Starknet and now is opening the door to institutional custody and staking of STRK. With this latest milestone, STRK holders gain secure, reliable access to contribute directly to the network’s growth and security.
"Our mission has always been to give institutions safe and seamless access to growing crypto ecosystems. By growing our support for Starknet with staking, we’re making it easier for STRK holders to participate in the network and for the Starknet ecosystem to thrive.”
— Nathan McCauley, CEO and Co-Founder of Anchorage Digital
"Starknet is generating excitement across the spectrum — from grassroots developer circles to institutional finance. There’s growing demand for robust, secure staking options, and I’m proud that this will now be available through one of the most respected names in the industry. Anchorage Digital brings exactly the kind of institutional credibility and technical excellence we need as Starknet enters its next phase.”
— Eli Ben-Sasson, Co-Founder and CEO, StarkWare
Anchorage Digital remains committed to building the bridge between institutions and next-generation networks like Starknet, delivering the secure foundation protocols and investors need to grow.
