Anchorage Digital expands Tron support with institutional TRX staking

Institutions can now stake Tron’s native token directly from Anchorage’s custody platform as the company expands support for one of the largest USDT settlement networks.

Digital asset custodian Anchorage Digital has added native TRX staking for institutional clients, expanding its support for the Tron blockchain as demand for regulated access to staking services grows.

The launch expands Anchorage’s support for Tron after introducing institutional custody for TRX, the network’s native token, earlier this year. Clients can now stake TRX directly from the company’s custody platform or Porto self-custody wallet, allowing them to earn protocol rewards for helping secure the blockchain without moving assets outside their existing custody environment.

Anchorage said the expansion reflects growing institutional interest in the Tron ecosystem, one of the largest networks for USDt (USDT) settlement. According to the company, Tron processed roughly $2 trillion in USDT transfers during the first quarter of 2026 while averaging 10.9 million daily transactions and 3.2 million active addresses. Tether’s transparency data shows nearly $90 billion of USDT currently circulates on the network.
