Anchorage Digital Ventures Returns to TOKEN2049 Singapore for Our Second Annual Demo Day
Anchorage Digital Ventures will host its second annual Demo Day at TOKEN2049 Singapore, taking place 1-4 PM on October 8, 2026 at Marina Bay Sands. Applications open today. A select group of founders will be invited to pitch live to Anchorage Digital's council and a curated audience of institutional partners.
Anchorage Digital launched Ventures in 2025 with a simple premise: early stage protocol teams need more than capital. They need a route into institutional markets.
Plenty of strong teams stall out, and usually not because the technology fails. Getting a product ready for regulated capital is its own skill set. It takes custody architecture, liquidity design, market maker relationships, and compliance work. Anchorage Digital Ventures exists to make that part faster.
Selected teams will receive funding and more importantly, direct support from our product, engineering, and go to market teams. That covers technical architecture, institutional readiness, and liquidity strategy. Protocols that later integrate with Anchorage Digital also have a path to the institutional clients already using our platform.
What we are looking for
We are most interested in teams working on RWA, stablecoins/payments, DeFi, market infrastructure and anything that removes friction from institutional adoption.
Stage matters less to us than clear thinking about who your first institutional user is and what value proposition you provide them.
We are also looking to meet with teams from across Asia. Singapore and Southeast Asia are producing some of the most interesting onchain infrastructure ideas, and holding Demo Day here is a deliberate choice. If you are building in the region, this is the year to put your protocol in front of us. See our Request for Startups List: https://x.com/AD_VenturesX/status/2050213851627405782?s=20
How to apply
Applications are open at anchorage.com/ventures. Tell us what you are building, who it is for, and what is standing in your way.
If you will be at TOKEN2049 and want to pitch in person, say so in your application. Our team reviews every submission and will reach out directly to the teams we want to see present. Register to attend: https://luma.com/o4rlwh9o
Demo Day itself will be invite only, but anyone can apply. We will announce grant recipients on a rolling basis following the event.
