Anchorage Digital provides institutional access to Babylon Bitcoin staking
Anchorage Digital, the trusted global crypto platform for institutions, has announced support for Bitcoin (BTC) staking on the Babylon bitcoin staking protocol, which is expanding its staking capacity with the beginning of Cap-3 in its mainnet Phase-1. Cap-3 removes previous limitations and enables practical institutional participation.
BTC staking marks a new frontier in digital asset innovation. It allows BTC to be staked natively on the Bitcoin network to provide proof-of-stake security with the ability to collect staking rewards. Through Anchorage Digital, institutions can now access a trusted gateway to participate in the next generation of Bitcoin secured networks.
“Anchorage Digital is committed to driving innovation in the digital asset space and providing our clients with a secure and compliant pathway to participate in the future of decentralized finance. Our support for Babylon BTC staking ahead of the Cap-3 launch exemplifies this commitment, enabling our institutional clients to participate in the evolution of Bitcoin and collect rewards while doing so.”
—Nathan McCauley, CEO and Co-founder, Anchorage Digital
“Anchorage Digital is a great access point for institutional participation in Babylon bitcoin staking. The combination of secure custody and regulatory compliance is one of a kind, making Anchorage Digital an ideal custodial solution for institutions looking to stake Bitcoin using the Babylon protocol.”
—Fisher Yu, Co-founder of Babylon
