Happy Independence Day!
A quick thread on Bitcoin and America is in order.
The Federalist Papers, particularly #10 and #17 are America's whitepaper.
Like Bitcoin's whitepaper, they were published under a pseudonym, advocate for decentralization, and warn about majorities.
Ethlabs is supported by a broad coalition across the Ethereum ecosystem:
DeFi builders, core devs, L2 founders, cypherpunks, investors, institutions, and researchers.
People who care deeply about Ethereum’s future, protecting its core properties, and bringing them to the world.
We are coming together to accelerate the next wave of Ethereum adoption by contributing to critical core R&D and building new infrastructure and products where the ecosystem needs them most.
We are incredibly grateful to be supported by @BitMNR, @Sharplink, @ethereumJoseph, @snzholding, and more than 50 others across Ethereum.
Today, Anchorage Digital is giving banks a new solution. With Tokenized Deposits, banks can use blockchain as a parallel ledger, upgrading bank’s capabilities without replacing what already works.
Tokenized Deposits allow banks a few key capabilities:
- Always-On Settlement: 24/7/365 instantaneous settlement without the constraints of banking hours or correspondent intermediaries.
- Programmable Settlements: Smart contracts enable automated, rules-based cash movements and complex multi-party financial workflows.
- Global Interoperability: Banks can easily customize the Anchorage Digital platform to map to their own preferences and organizational needs.
- Regulatory Clarity: Deposits are well understood by banks, regulators, and clients — with established accounting and compliance frameworks.
NEW: 24/7/365 payment and settlement capabilities for banks is here.
And it takes banks weeks, not years, to have these new capabilities up and running with Anchorage Digital’s Tokenized Deposits infrastructure.
The Tokenized Money Market Fund market sits at roughly $10B today. Projections show it scaling to $600B–$1T+ by 2030. This isn't just growth; it is a structural migration of liquidity onto programmable, 24/7 rails.
Best advice that I can give anyone for the next 4-5 years:
- Don't ride motorcycles
- Don't do 'extreme sports' anywhere, especially third world countries
- if you need to go skiing, make it kindergarten-safe
Meanwhile, take care of your health. Because in 4-5 years our lifespans could be extended 20%-30%, easily live over 100, and have at 80 the energy of a current thirtysomething
We're living the timest of times!
Anchorage Digital’s Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) Officer Dustin Palmer is heading to Washington next week to speak before the House Oversight Subcommittee on Military and Foreign Affairs.
He’ll be testifying on how digital assets can help people living under authoritarian regimes, in conflict zones, and in failing financial systems.

Tokenized funds don't just need issuance, they need institutional operating rails.
Anchorage Digital Prime powers subscriptions, redemptions, custody, and settlement for the @StateStreet Galaxy Onchain Liquidity Sweep.
Coming soon: margin financing against SWEEP positions.
Exciting launch today: Anchorage Digital's linked staking and trading for Hyperliquid is now live.
Clients simply link their Anchorage Digital staking account to any external trading account, no bridging, no changes to custody status, no interruption to staking operations. All HYPE remains in qualified custody throughout. For institutions already staking with Anchorage Digital, it is a straightforward way to put an existing position to work across two dimensions simultaneously.
Hyperliquid now commands roughly 40% of all onchain perpetuals volume, generating over $250B in monthly volume and $800M in annualized revenue, making it the largest and most profitable decentralized exchange in the world
Institutional demand has followed, and is accelerating. Hyperliquid ecosystem volume at Anchorage Digital grew more than 300% MoM in May, a clear signal that institutions have moved from evaluating the ecosystem to deploying into it. The firms entering Hyperliquid today are not experimenting. They are allocating capital, launching products, and building long-term positions in HYPE, which today surpassed new all-time highs, and the broader ecosystem.
Accessing Hyperliquid can get complex for institutions. Disconnected workflows create friction. We solved this by bringing custody, staking, and settlement into a single, regulated platform built to institutional standards.
Hyperliquid.
Tener grandes productos no basta.
También hace falta la infraestructura para llevarlos al mundo.
En Plan ₿ Forum, @nathanmccauley explica por qué el próximo paso para Bitcoin, cripto y las stablecoins es construir esa red de caminos.
One of the most expensive part of moving money internationally is the capital stranded along the way.
Cross-border flows are hamstrung by pre-funded nostro/vostro accounts, banking hours, and slow settlement.
XFX is joining the @Anchorage Digital Atlas settlement network to change this.
Having worked in crypto at large banks and trading firms, one of the questions that came up constantly was how institutional crypto trading would eventually look. The bet was always that it’d converge toward something like FX: separated custody, settlement, and execution.
Anchorage and specifically Atlas is building exactly that.
Anchorage Digital 🤝 Ethena Labs
Anchorage Digital is expanding its collaboration with @ethena through Atlas Collateral Management, serving as collateral manager for Ethena Labs’ institutional lending activity.
Exciting launch today, something we've been designing and brainstorming for the last few years. We're finally ready to bring it to the world.
CMS enables a structure with traditional familiar markets like foreign exchange (FX). It is the next evolution in the market structure that was started by off-exchange settlement configurations of the past decade.
In short, Atlas CMS allows each party to focus where they are exceptional:
- Exchanges and other non-custodial venues operate as non-custodial matching engines
- Prime brokers and intermediaries manage credit, margin, and client relationships
- Anchorage Digital provides qualified custody and coordinated settlement through its independent, federally-regulated bank
This separation of roles aligns digital asset trading with existing rails, regulatory frameworks, and internal risk models used by banks, hedge funds, and market infrastructure providers.
Rather than requiring institutions to adapt to uncomfortable crypto-native workflows, CMS allows digital asset trading and settlement to resemble the systems they already trust.
We’re building a new foundation for crypto market structure.
Today, much of crypto trading takes place offshore. A single platform acts as exchange, custodian, and settlement agent.
Assets are commingled, and titled to the exchange. This keeps institutions on the sidelines.
Kudos to @JasonYanowitz, @MikeIppolito_, and the rest of the Blockworks team on launching the Transparency Alliance.
Real step forward for the industry.
Introducing the Transparency Alliance.
An industry-led alliance establishing the Token Transparency Framework as the standard for token market disclosures.
