Anchorage Digital launches a stablecoin solution, providing on-chain USD settlement channels for international banks

According to market news, crypto bank Anchorage Digital has announced the launch of "Stablecoin Solutions" for international banks, aimed at providing non-U.S. financial institutions with a U.S.-regulated digital dollar infrastructure as an alternative to traditional correspondent banking systems.

The solution integrates stablecoin issuance, compliant custody, fiat fund management, and blockchain-native settlement functions, allowing banks to achieve cross-border circulation of dollar assets without relying on traditional correspondent banking networks. Anchorage stated that institutions can hold and settle tokenized dollar assets under its federal banking license framework. Anchorage is the first crypto-native institution to obtain a U.S. federal banking license, regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

Company CEO Nathan McCauley stated that stablecoins are gradually becoming core financial infrastructure, and this solution provides banks with a pathway to enable global dollar flows through blockchain rails while ensuring custody, compliance, and operational control. Anchorage's move is seen as an attempt to replace the traditional correspondent banking cross-border clearing system with a regulated stablecoin framework.

If adopted by international banks, dollar stablecoins may further embed themselves into mainstream cross-border payment and fund management processes. However, the ultimate implementation still depends on the clarity of regulatory details and the global banking sector's acceptance of tokenized liability structures.
