Anchorage Digital First Institutional Custodian to Support
ZKsync Asset Custody, Governance
CAYMAN ISLANDS and SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Anchorage Digital, the leading
crypto platform for institutions, and
the ZKsync Foundation, announced the availability of
digital assets from the ZKsync ecosystem on Anchorage Digital's
platform. With the only U.S. federally chartered
crypto bank, Anchorage Digital is the first
institutional custodian to support ZKsync, whose zero-knowledge
technology helps blockchains provide fast, secure and scalable
transactions.
The new implementation allows institutions to hold the ZK token
and to participate in governance from the safety and security of
their Anchorage Digital accounts. The ZK token is also now
supported by Anchorage Digital's self-custody wallet for
institutions, Porto. The ZK token
can be custodied with Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. and Anchorage
Digital Singapore, which offer equivalent security and service
standards.
"With new advances in security and privacy, zero-knowledge
proof technology has sparked considerable demand from traditional
and crypto-native institutions alike. Launching
support for the ZKsync ecosystem marks the latest in our commitment
to bringing institutions the latest in digital asset innovation,
without compromising on safety or security. Zero-knowledge
technology is here, now from a clear-cut qualified custodian in
Anchorage Digital Bank."
— Nathan
McCauley, CEO and Co-Founder of Anchorage Digital
"Integrating with Anchorage Digital was an easy decision for
us, driven by our partners' unwavering confidence in their trusted
and licensed services. Anchorage Digital is renowned for its
reliability, and we're excited to bring the same level of quality
and security to our partners who hold and use the ZK Token. We
couldn't be more thrilled to join forces with such a respected
leader in the industry."
— Nana Murugesan, President of Matter Labs

safe and secure institutional access is a major step forward. With
a roster of top institutional clients and industry-leading
regulatory clarity, Anchorage Digital is the perfect partner to
advance institutional participation in ZKsync. We look forward to
working with the Anchorage Digital team to support new chains and
