Anchorage Digital becomes a custodial provider for Babylon bitcoin staking

We're excited to share that Anchorage Digital is becoming a custodian integrated with Babylon bitcoin staking.

Anchorage Digital, a leading institutional-grade crypto platform, is now allowing institutions to stake bitcoin on the Babylon bitcoin staking protocol, starting with Cap-3. Anchorage Digital's status as the first federally chartered digital asset bank ensures that institutions can stake their Bitcoin with confidence thanks to Anchorage Digital's unparalleled level of regulatory compliance and institutional-grade security.

Building on the success of Cap-2, which enabled a TVL of 23,857 BTC (around $2 billion at today’s price), Cap-3 removes previous limitations and enables practical institutional participation.

With Anchorage Digital, institutions can stake their BTC on the Babylon bitcoin staking protocol through Anchorage Digital's custody solutions. Anchorage Digital Bank regulatory compliance information can be read here.

Why does this matter?

• Native bitcoin staking: The Babylon bitcoin staking protocol turns bitcoin into a genuine staking asset without having to rely on intermediaries. 
• Increased accessibility: Cap-3 opens Bitcoin staking to a wider range of participants.

This is a major milestone in our mission to make Bitcoin staking accessible and secure for everyone and we’re thrilled that Anchorage Digital announced support for BTC staking on the Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol!

About Babylon Labs
Babylon Labs focuses on Bitcoin security-sharing protocols with a vision of building a Bitcoin-secured decentralized world. The latest software development is the world's first trust less and self-custodial Bitcoin staking protocol, which enables Bitcoin holders to stake their BTC on other decentralized systems such as PoS chains, L2s, Data Availability (DA) layers, etc, enabling stakers to earn staking rewards without the need for third-party custody, bridge solutions, or wrapping services. The greater idea is to combine the high security and wide adoption of Bitcoin with the efficiency and scalability of PoS systems, increasing Bitcoin's utility.For more information about Babylon Labs, a developer of the Babylon Bitcoin staking protocol, please visit:
