Anchorage Digital Bank to mint and redeem stablecoins for Securitize
USSource: Anchorage Digital
AI-generated image- Anchorage Digital announced on 20 October 2026 a partnership with tokenization platform Securitize providing direct mint and redemption of stablecoins issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A., which also handles custody and settlement.
- Anchorage Digital Bank’s issuance ecosystem includes USDtb, issued with Ethena Labs, and USA₮, developed with Tether; as of August 31, 2026, approximately 99% of USDtb’s $530 million in reserves were held in BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, tokenized by Securitize, according to the bank’s attested reserve report.
Why it matters
A federally chartered bank acting as issuer, custodian and settlement agent for the cash leg of tokenized fund trades sets a reference model that other banks considering GENIUS Act-era stablecoin issuance can compare against.
