Anchorage Digital Expands Custody for Tokens on Aptos, Including BUIDL and Ondo USDY
Anchorage Digital, the leading global custodian for crypto innovators and investors, is pleased to announce expanded support for tokens on the Aptos blockchain, including custody of BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) and the Ondo US Dollar Yield Token (USDY), the two largest tokenized treasury assets by total value locked (TVL). This development builds upon Anchorage Digital's role as a preferred institutional custodian for Aptos since we launched custody support at its mainnet launch, further solidifying our commitment to providing comprehensive services for emerging blockchain ecosystems.
The addition of token support on Aptos marks a significant step in Anchorage Digital's ongoing efforts to offer diverse crypto assets to its institutional clients. This expansion enables Anchorage Digital clients to securely custody reward-generating assets on Aptos such as BUIDL and USDY, fostering greater participation in the Aptos ecosystem.
"Growing Layer-1s need experienced partners to support them. By expanding our support to include new tokens on Aptos, we're extending the security envelope to this promising blockchain, empowering our clients to explore new opportunities within this innovative ecosystem."
—Nathan McCauley, Co-Founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital
"The launch of Anchorage Digital's support for tokens on Aptos marks a significant milestone in advancing the maturation of the network. We continue to be impressed with Anchorage Digital’s ability to prioritize both security and seamless integration.”
—Bashar Lazaar, Head of Ecosystem at Aptos Foundation
"Anchorage Digital continues to lead the way with providing institutions access to newer blockchain ecosystems. Support for BUIDL on Aptos is a significant step forward for increased access."
—Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize
"Anchorage Digital is a nexus point for institutional access, and this expanded support for Ondo USDY on Aptos paves the way for greater adoption of tokenized treasuries on one of the leading blockchain ecosystems."
—Ian De Bode, Chief Strategy Officer of Ondo Finance
Since our previous announcement for Aptos custody via Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., the only federally-chartered digital asset bank, we’ve since added additional support via our institutional self-custody wallet, Porto.
Anchorage Digital continues to lead the way in providing secure, regulated access to the expanding world of digital assets. If you’d like to learn more about our offerings at Anchorage Digital–please get in touch.
