Anchorage Digital adds custody support for assets on Tempo
Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A. now supports custody, withdrawals, and transfers for assets on Tempo. This gives institutions an institutional custody path for stablecoins on the network, including OUSD, USDT0, USDC.e, and pathUSD, and TIP-20 support designed to shorten the path for additional assets as they go live. If you are an issuer or institution evaluating Tempo, get in touch with the Tempo team.
As more institutions move stablecoins and tokenized assets into production, custody becomes part of the adoption path.
Institutions need more than a network that can move value quickly. They need assets held under controls that their risk, audit, and compliance teams already understand, and custody partners that can support new networks without requiring new operating models.
Anchorage Digital Bank helps bridge this gap for institutions by rolling out custody support for assets on Tempo through its qualified custody entity. Institutions can now custody, withdraw, and transfer dollar-denominated stablecoins on Tempo through Anchorage Digital Bank, including OUSD, USDT0, USDC.e, and pathUSD.
A custody path for institutions using Tempo
Tempo is designed for stablecoin payments at enterprise scale, with near-instant settlement, no re-orgs, sub-cent fees, and fees paid in stablecoins.
For institutions, those network-level features matter when they connect to operational requirements: treasury controls, asset custody, reconciliation, approvals, and auditability. Custody support from Anchorage Digital Bank helps make supported Tempo assets easier to hold and use within existing institutional frameworks.
"Stablecoin networks are being built for institutional scale, and institutions need a custodian that can meet them there. Supporting Tempo means clients can hold Tempo-native assets at a federally chartered bank, under the same controls they apply to the rest of their portfolio."
TIP-20 support shortens the path for new assets
Anchorage Digital has also implemented support for TIP-20, Tempo’s token standard for stablecoins and payment assets.
Tempo is designed for a growing set of stablecoins and tokenized assets. With TIP-20, Anchorage Digital Bank can extend its custody solution to new tokens issued on Tempo on a significantly shorter timeline, potentially within days once standard onboarding and approval requirements are complete.
For issuers, that means custody can be part of the launch path earlier. For institutions, it means new Tempo assets can be evaluated on their merits without waiting for custody infrastructure to catch up one token at a time.
What this enables next
As more issuers bring assets to Tempo, institutional custody will become an important part of distribution, adoption, and day-to-day use.
Anchorage Digital’s support creates a foundation for that next phase. Issuers get a clearer path to institutional custody. Allocators get a custody option inside a familiar control environment. Enterprises evaluating Tempo get one more piece of the operational stack in place.
"As more institutions use Tempo to move stablecoins at scale, Anchorage Digital’s support gives them a custody option inside a federally chartered bank, within the compliance requirements they already operate under. With this integration, issuers can have an institutional-grade custody path for new stablecoins as soon as they go live on the network."
Tempo is built for stablecoin payments at scale. Custody support from Anchorage Digital Bank helps institutions use supported assets on Tempo with the standards they already require.
