Anchorage Digital Acquires Securitize in Crypto Wealth Consolidation
Anchorage Digital, the only federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., has acquired Securitize For Advisors to expand its suite of regulated services for registered investment advisors (RIAs). The deal consolidates an existing relationship, with 99% of Securitize's client assets already custodied at Anchorage.
Securitize For Advisors saw explosive growth over the past year, with deposits and assets under management surging 4,500% in 12 months. The platform serves as a turnkey solution for RIAs seeking crypto exposure without developing proprietary infrastructure.
The acquisition creates a single regulated gateway for RIAs, combining custody, execution, and portfolio management tools. It reflects accelerating institutional demand for compliant digital asset access as crypto becomes increasingly mainstream in wealth management strategies.
