Anchorage

Anchorage Digital was founded by Nathan McCauley and Diogo Mónica, two security engineers with a vision to create a safer and more accessible digital asset platform. Their journey began in 2017, amidst the burgeoning interest in cryptocurrencies and the need for secure institutional custody solutions.

Recognizing the gap in the market for a robust and compliant digital asset custodian, McCauley and Mónica leveraged their expertise to build Anchorage. The company quickly gained traction, offering a platform that combined advanced security measures with user-friendly access to digital assets.

In 2019, Anchorage achieved a significant milestone by securing a Series B funding round led by Blockchain Capital, raising $40 million. This funding enabled the company to expand its services and enhance its technology, solidifying its position as a leader in the crypto custody space.

Anchorage's journey took another pivotal turn in January 2021 when it became the first cryptocurrency company to receive a federal charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). This landmark approval marked a new era for Anchorage, allowing it to operate as a national bank and offering a wider range of financial services.

Today, Anchorage Digital stands at the forefront of the digital asset revolution, providing secure and compliant solutions for institutions looking to navigate the complex world of cryptocurrencies. Its founders' commitment to innovation and security continues to drive the company's growth and influence in the financial industry.
