Efficient multi-chain deployment

No issuance caps

State-chartered issuers are limited to an issuance cap of $10B*. Anchorage Digital Bank’s federal status allows your stablecoin to scale to meet any level of demand.

Reduce state-by-state risk

Stablecoins issued by Anchorage Digital Bank operate under the federal oversight of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. This reduces the operational and legal complexity of navigating multiple regimes at the state level.

Regulatory Clarity
State regimes must apply to be certified as "substantially similar" to federal, which may not be granted.
Clear and unified regulatory framework under the OCC.
Anchorage Digital Bank is already permitted to issue stablecoins under OCC Interpretive Letter 1174.
International Reciprocity for Global Distribution
Uncertain international recognition and reciprocity due to the lack of direct federal oversight.
International reciprocity through agreements between the U.S. and other countries is more likely, supported by a unified federal regulatory body.
*Some state issuers may be permitted to issue over this cap if they get a waiver from the Stablecoin Certification Review Committee (Fed, Treasury and FDIC)
