The new division of Anchorage Digital Ventures will finance and advise projects aimed at building foundational blockchain infrastructure. The company claims its goal is to make protocols 'institutionally ready from day one', offering more than just capital — including technical guidance, liquidity support, and access to Anchorage's client network.
CEO Nathan McCauley characterized these efforts as removing obstacles for founders: 'The protocols launched today will define how value moves in the global economy tomorrow.'
The launch comes amid lackluster activity from cryptocurrency venture funds in 2025, despite the growth of digital asset markets. Anchorage joins the trend as major infrastructure players create their own venture divisions — Coinbase Ventures has become an active investor, while Circle Ventures has focused on USDC-oriented projects.
Anchorage states that it prioritizes teams working on Bitcoin DeFi, tokenized real-world assets, decentralized identity, and tools for institutional adoption.
Selected projects will receive initial support, direct mentoring from Anchorage's development and go-to-market teams, as well as assistance in choosing a market maker. In October this year, a closed demo day will take place at the Token2049 conference in Singapore, where finalists will present their solutions to industry leaders before grant awards.
By joining the next wave of protocols, Anchorage bets that closer integration between institutions and early blockchain projects will define the future of the financial sector.
