Anchorage Digital Launches Venture Arm to Support Early Onchain Protocols
Anchorage Digital Ventures Launch
- Anchorage Digital, valued at $3 billion from its December 2021 funding round, is launching a venture investment arm focused on early-stage onchain protocols.
- Applications are open with a review scheduled for September; selected teams will demo their projects at Token2049 in Singapore on October 1-2, 2025.
- The venture aims to provide more than financial support, offering assistance in product development, engineering, market strategies, liquidity building, and access to institutional clients if integrated.
- Nathan McCauley, co-founder and CEO, expressed enthusiasm about this initiative as a significant opportunity for protocol founders.
- Anchorage Digital, founded in 2017 and backed by notable investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Goldman Sachs, has raised a total of $487 million over multiple funding rounds.
- The company’s valuation reflects a 516% increase since its last funding round.
- This move aligns with trends from other firms like Coinbase and Circle, which have also established investment arms to foster ecosystem growth.
- Projects focusing on Bitcoin DeFi, real-world assets, and decentralized identity are encouraged to apply.
For further updates, announcements will begin in October 2025.
