Anchorage Digital’s institutional platform Atlas is expanding into collateral management and oversight for institutional lenders and credit providers, according to an announcement on Thursday.
The offering will feature real-time 24/7 collateral monitoring, automated margin calls, and other services for a "wide array of digital asset secured transactions," including secured loans, convertible bonds, warehouse facilities, structured products, OTC derivatives, equipment purchases, PIPE financings, and more, according to the announcement.
Collateral management is the process of administering, monitoring, and overseeing assets pledged to a counterparty during a financial transaction.
"Institutional credit markets are evolving, and Anchorage Digital is providing the infrastructure to support that transformation," Anchorage CEO Nathan McCauley said in a statement. "By combining 24/7 collateral oversight with secure, regulated custody, our solution helps lenders manage risk and scale with confidence."
Atlas Collateral Management will hold collateral assets in Anchorage’s regulated, segregated, bankruptcy-remote custody. Additionally, Anchorage will serve as the triparty, handling operational and administrative tasks on behalf of the two main counterparties.
The move comes as Anchorage, the first OCC-chartered digital asset bank, continues to expand its operations, including into crypto-native activities. Earlier this year, for instance, Anchorage added an integration with Sky to allow clients to deploy off-chain custodied assets into the onchain lending environment.
Founded in 2017 by Diogo Mónica and Nathan McCauley, Anchorage has also grown its wealth advisory, token lifecycle management, and stablecoin services businesses.
According to the announcement, Anchorage’s Atlas platform now supports nearly 600 participants, representing a fourfold increase in clients over the past year.
Anchorage, reportedly gearing up for a public listing, last raised a $350 million Series D round in 2021, backed by Apollo, Goldman Sachs, and KKR, among others, at a $3 billion valuation.
