Securitize Partners with Anchorage Digital Bank to Directly Create Stablecoins

Securitize has established a direct relationship with Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A. for the creation and redemption of stablecoins, as announced on Tuesday. This collaboration allows Securitize to bypass intermediaries, with Anchorage issuing, custodizing, and settling the stablecoin transactions. In a post on X, Securitize highlighted that this process is streamlined through a single federally chartered bank managing the mint-to-redemption workflow. However, the announcement did not specify which stablecoins are involved in this arrangement.

Anchorage's stablecoin issuance includes USDtb, created with Ethena Labs, and USA₮, developed in partnership with Tether. Securitize, which is listed on the NYSE under the ticker SECZ, provides the infrastructure used by major financial institutions such as BlackRock and KKR to issue tokenized funds, managing over $4 billion in assets on its platform, according to Anchorage.

Carlos Domingo, Securitize’s chairman and CEO, emphasized the importance of maintaining rigorous standards for both the dollar and securities aspects of transactions. He noted that working with Anchorage allows Securitize direct access to federally overseen digital dollars, held by the same bank that issues them. Nathan McCauley, co-founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital, stated that regulated issuance is critical for scaling tokenization in institutional environments.

The partnership builds on existing connections between the two firms; by the end of August, approximately 99% of the reserves of USDtb, totaling around $530 million, were held in BlackRock's BUIDL fund, which Securitize tokenizes. Anchorage referenced rwa.xyz data indicating that the tokenized real-world asset market grew to $31 billion in March, up from $23 billion at the end of 2025. Securitize has also been broadening its initiatives this year by launching tokenized U.S. stocks on the Solana platform and collaborating with South Korea’s LG CNS to explore tokenized funds and stablecoins. Notably, this announcement came just one day before the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency finalized its stablecoin regulations under the GENIUS Act.
