Anchorage Digital Seeks $400M Funding Ahead of IPO Plans
- Anchorage Digital aims to raise between $200 million and $400 million as it prepares for a potential Initial Public Offering.
- The company became the first federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S. in 2021 and is positioned to lead stablecoin issuance following the GENIUS Act’s passage.
- CEO Nathan McCauley plans to double the stablecoin team over the next year to support expected growth in digital dollars.
- In December, Anchorage expanded its wealth management services by acquiring Securitize For Advisors.
