TRX Staking Is Now Available at Anchorage Digital

Institutions can now stake TRX through Anchorage Digital, putting their digital assets to work within the same regulated framework they already use for custody.

Earlier this year, Anchorage Digital added support for the TRON blockchain, bringing institutional-grade custody to one of the most active networks in crypto. That launch let institutions hold TRX, TRON's native token, through both the regulated platform and Porto, our self-custody wallet. Staking is the next step – and it's live today.

‍Why TRON, and why now

TRON has become core infrastructure for global stablecoin settlement. In Q1 2026, the network processed roughly 10.9 million transactions and 3.2 million active addresses per day, settled approximately $2 trillion in USDT transfers, and carried a stablecoin market cap of around $85.8 billion.

That activity is why institutions are paying attention, and why secure, compliant access matters. Custody is the entry point; staking is how institutions participate more fully in the network. With TRX staking now available, clients can collect staking rewards while keeping the security, operational controls, and regulatory standards they expect. Rewards are paid by the TRON protocol and vary based on validator selection, network conditions, and applicable fees.

Anchorage Digital's TRON support was built as a phased rollout: custody first, then expanded support across the ecosystem, including native staking. Delivering staking on that roadmap deepens institutional access to a network that sits at the center of the stablecoin economy.

“Institutions are looking for the ability to participate in leading networks where on-chain activity and adoption continue to grow. TRX staking is another step in our commitment to supporting the digital asset ecosystems our clients care about. By adding native staking alongside custody, we're giving institutions a compliant way to engage more deeply with TRON, a network that sits at the center of the stablecoin economy.”—Nathan McCauley, Co-Founder and CEO, Anchorage Digital

Open for business for major protocols

TRX staking is one example of a larger commitment to support growing ecosystems in the digital asset space.

As networks mature and pursue institutional adoption, they need a partner that can evolve alongside them: supporting custody, staking, settlement, and expanding capabilities as the ecosystem grows. TRON is what that looks like in practice: a phased integration that started with custody and now spans native TRX staking and custody for TRC-20 assets, with dedicated integration support throughout.

"Expanding support with Anchorage Digital is an important milestone for the TRON ecosystem and the institutions building on it. Custody is the first step, but staking allows institutions to become active participants in the network. Secure, regulated infrastructure is what helps turn institutional interest into participation."—Justin Sun, Founder, TRON

For protocols and networks looking to expand institutional access in the U.S. and beyond, Anchorage Digital is open for business; and TRON shows what we can build together.
