Anchorage Digital Settlement
Atlas: Where institutions maximize capital efficiency
Buy- and sell-side institutions use Atlas (Anchorage Digital Trusted Liquidity and Settlement) to avoid the counterparty, delivery, and bankruptcy exposure risks inherent to trading. Join the only crypto settlement network offered by a federally chartered bank, Anchorage Digital Bank.
An unparalleled settlement offering
Atlas couples the safety of traditional settlement with the benefits of digital asset technology so traders can fully separate settlement and execution concerns through on-chain settlement.
Simultaneous settlement
Anchorage Digital executes simultaneous settlement instructions on behalf of counterparties, and only does so when joint conditions are met.
Protected assets
Assets held at Anchorage Digital Bank or Anchorage Digital Singapore are verifiable on-chain, segregated, and bankruptcy-remote.
Custody-integrated
Settlement is fully integrated with custody: approve settlements and monitor settlement status on the Anchorage Digital platform.
Enhanced capital efficiency
Within Atlas, a ring-fenced, safe settlement network, institutions can trade crypto and fiat and settle quickly across multiple counterparties without the need for DvP.
Industry-leading security
Our differentiated security mitigates the risk of human error; while keys are offline, transactions can still be signed in seconds—unlike with cold storage.
Flexible settlement timing
Choose to settle ad-hoc 24/7, or settle end-of-day across all the settlement obligations you have with your counterparties.
Crypto settlement you can trust
Anchorage Digital is the only custodian to provide on-demand settlement directly between participants without escrow, collateral, or the use of omnibus accounts. Simplify transactions and reduce operational risk by providing settlement instructions through Atlas; our automation-based systems will safely process transactions on-chain and programmatically move end-customer assets.
Tri-party solutions
Atlas also enables institutions to minimize counterparty risk through tri-party solutions. Collateral is held in a segregated vault, and the secured party maintains a transparent view of collateral in which the pledgor is granting a security interest.
