Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. Expands Custody Support for SPL Tokens on Solana

Institutions can now custody SPL tokens from only federally chartered crypto bank

Today, Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., the only federally chartered crypto bank, is announcing expanded support for the Solana ecosystem. In addition to native SOL, institutions can now custody SPL tokens from the safety and security of Anchorage Digital Bank. The SPL token standard governs how tokens and NFTs on the Solana network operate, ensuring interoperability across the ecosystem.    

As a clear-cut qualified custodian, Anchorage Digital Bank works with leading crypto protocols to streamline institutional participation via custody, staking, treasury management, and other services. Anchorage Digital Bank has supported native SOL custody since 2022 and staking since 2023. The addition of SPL token support marks the latest in our work to meet rising institutional demand for access to the Solana ecosystem. 

“For institutions, having safe and secure access to leading networks like Solana is essential. By adding support for SPL tokens, Anchorage Digital Bank is unlocking a new era for institutional participation across the Solana ecosystem. We are proud to add additional support for Solana as Anchorage Digital works to meet institutional demand for safe, secure, and regulated crypto.”     

— Nathan McCauley, CEO and Co-Founder of Anchorage Digital

SPL tokens are used across the Solana network for a wide range of use cases, including dApp participation, tokenization, payments, governance, and more. The addition of SPL custody support at Anchorage Digital Bank marks the latest move in institutional adoption for Solana, which in January 2024 launched token extensions to meet the needs of enterprises building in the ecosystem.
