Anchorage Digital’s institutional platform Atlas is expanding its business with a collateral management and oversight service for institutional lenders and credit providers.

The Block reported on March 19 that the new service provides 24-hour real-time collateral monitoring and automated margin calls. It supports a range of digital asset collateral transactions including collateralised loans, convertible bonds, warehouse facilities, structured products, over-the-counter derivatives, equipment purchases and private investments.

Collateral assets are managed under Anchorage’s regulator-approved segregated custody method. It applies a bankruptcy-remote structure to protect client assets. As a third party, Anchorage also handles operational and administrative work on behalf of both sides of transactions.

Anchorage CEO Nathan McCauley (네이선 맥컬리) said, "Institutional credit markets are changing." He added, "By combining 24-hour collateral oversight with regulator-approved custody services, we help lenders manage risk and expand their businesses with confidence."

Anchorage is the first digital asset bank to be chartered by the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Earlier this year it added a feature integrated with Sky to allow off-chain custody assets to be deployed into an on-chain lending environment. It is also expanding asset advisory, token lifecycle management and stablecoin services.
