Accelerating our pace of asset support to meet institutional custody needs

Diogo Mónica and Nathan McCauley

Anchorage Digital is pleased to announce we’ve recently added custody support for 11 new digital assets: Provenance (HASH), Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), Mutant Apes Yacht Club (MAYC), Wrapped Luna (wLUNA), SuperRare (RARE), Sandbox (SAND), ParaSwap (PSP), staked AAVE (stkAAVE), Compound USDC (cUSDC), Compound Dai (cDAI) and Compound Ether (cETH).

Anchorage will keep improving our ability to support new assets, and we are honored to continue to provide both protocols and institutions the secure and regulated services of our federally chartered bank.

To highlight some of our newer assets supported for custody, we’re delighted to have integrated the following NFTs to Anchorage custody:

New NFTs available for custody:

  • Bored Ape Mutant Yacht Club (BAYC): Bored Apes are an NFT collection on Ethereum created by Yuga Labs, where each unique Bored Ape is programmatically generated from 170 unique traits. Bored Ape holders also benefit from Yacht Club membership rewards.
  • Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC): Mutant Apes are an NFT collection and the third NFT collection launched by creator Yuga Labs. The MAYC is used to reward BAYC holders with a mutant version of their original ape and unlock a new membership tier.

New tokens available for custody:

  • Provenance Blockchain (HASH): Last week, Anchorage was named Provenance’s preferred provider for HASH token holdings and treasuries. Dedicated to supporting the development of decentralized financial services applications to deliver significant business benefits for its participants, Provenance’s ecosystem has grown to more than 50 financial institutions transactions on the blockchain and $3b+ in completed financial transactions since inception.
  • Wrapped Luna (wLUNA): wLUNA is a technology layer and ERC20 token that represents Terra (LUNA) on Ethereum, allowing LUNA holders to trade, hold, and participate in decentralized finance (“DeFi”) applications on Ethereum. LUNA is a Layer 1 digital asset and the native token of the Terra Network.
  • SuperRARE (RARE): SuperRare is an NFT marketplace for collecting unique digital artwork each piece of which is tokenized as a crypto-collectible that can also be traded. RARE is a governance token for the SuperRare network and provides such benefits as creating and voting on governance proposals, liquidity provision programs, gallery staking, social benefits and more.
  • Sandbox (SAND): The Sandbox is a virtual gaming world where players can build, own, and monetize their gaming experiences. SAND is a utility token of the Sandbox Platform, granting holders access to play games or purchase in-app game assets, governance of the Sandbox DAO, and staking.
  • ParaSwap (PSP): ParaSwap is a DeFi aggregator and middleware that consolidates multiple decentralized exchanges and other services into one interface.The ParaSwap token (PSP) is a governance and utility token for the protocol.
  • Staked AAVE (stkAAVE): Aave is a decentralized non-custodial liquidity protocol where users can participate as depositors or borrowers. stkAAVE is an ERC20 token that allows users to receive an equal amount of stkAAVE when staking AAVE to accrue rewards, thereby serving as a backstop in the event a shortfall occurs.
  • Compound’s cTokens (cUSDC, cDAI, cETH): Compound is a decentralized and algorithmic, autonomous interest rate protocol built for developers. Compound USDC (cUSDC), Compound DAI (cDAI) and Compound Ether (cETH), collectively known as “cTokens’’ are utility tokens that are tokenized deposits of a user’s USDC, DAI, and ETH.
