Anchorage Digital, Hashnote Launch New Solution for Crypto Asset Management

Anchorage Digital, a leading institutional custodian and home to the only federally chartered crypto bank, and Hashnote, the on-chain-first digital asset manager and CFTC registered Commodity Pool Operator, built with the support of Cumberland and DRW, partner to launch Hashnote Harbor with custody services provided by Anchorage Digital. This strategic partnership sets a new security standard for crypto asset management. Combining institutional-grade custody from Anchorage Digital and a full suite of derivative strategies from Hashnote, Hashnote Harbor enables yields on digital commodities without assets ever leaving safe and secure custody at Anchorage Digital. 

Hashnote’s Harbor suite of derivative strategies enables participants to achieve targeted returns targeting up to 40%*. Miners and other sellers may opt for a direct call selling strategy to augment yields while awaiting a sale. Participants can also request customized structures to target specific yields or create bespoke hedges for their assets. Hashnote Harbor eliminates the need to take assets out of custody in order to generate yield, minimizing counterparty risk while maintaining access to sophisticated strategies.

“Institutions seek a variety of ways to participate in digital assets. The driving, integral aspect to their participation is safety and security, a hallmark of Anchorage Digital. That’s why we’re pleased to partner with Hashnote in the launch of its crypto derivatives program, Harbor, where assets always remain safeguarded by a federally regulated custodian—Anchorage Digital Bank. Together, we are proud to advance a shared vision for safety and security across the institutional ecosystem.”     

— Nathan McCauley, CEO and Co-Founder of Anchorage Digital

“Demand for yield on crypto assets has traditionally required various degrees of principal risk in the form of credit, custodial, or protocol risk. Hashnote is proud to partner with Anchorage Digital to introduce the world's first product, which provides yield within a secure and regulated custodial environment coupled with smart contract ingenuity and a regulated fund structure.”

— Leo Mizuhara, CEO and Founder of Hashnote

Anchorage Digital's robust security framework, governance practices, and risk management protocols ensure client assets remain on-chain in segregated, bankruptcy-remote accounts, mitigating potential risks. 

Hashnote is registered with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as a Commodity Pool Operator (CPO) and is a member of the National Futures Association (NFA). Hashnote’s offshore funds are registered as mutual funds with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA). Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. is the first—and only—crypto bank with a federal bank charter from the Office of Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). By onboarding to Harbor at Anchorage Digital, institutions can confidently optimize their digital asset portfolios while prioritizing asset safety and regulatory compliance.
