NEW YORK, March 26 (Reuters) - Anchorage Digital, a federally regulated U.S. crypto platform, said on Thursday it would add Justin Sun's Tron ?blockchain to its network, expanding the venture's access to U.S. ?investors.
San Francisco-based Anchorage is the only federally chartered crypto ?bank in the United States and provides crypto custody, settlement and ?other services for financial firms such as hedge funds, as well as ?other crypto players.
"By supporting Tron on Anchorage Digital's regulated platform, we're helping bring one of crypto's largest ecosystems into an institutional framework," Anchorage co-founder and CEO ?Nathan McCauley said in a statement.
Anchorage clients will now be able ?to custody Tron's tronix, potentially paving the way for greater adoption of the token ?in ?the U.S. and boosting Tron's goal of expanding in the country.
The Tron Foundation, which oversees the blockchain network, is based in Singapore.
U.S. investors who wish to invest and trade in Tron's token currently do ?so mostly through ?decentralized exchanges, which ?aim to cut out the middleman and allow users to transact directly on a blockchain network.
Sun, a major backer of the Trump family crypto ?venture World ?Liberty Financial, said in a statement ?that Tron's partnership with Anchorage will help "expand secure institutional access" to the blockchain network.
