Anchorage Digital Ventures has announced the launch of a new venture arm aimed at funding and advising projects building core blockchain infrastructure.
Goals of Anchorage Digital Ventures
According to the company's official statement, the main goal of Anchorage Digital Ventures is to create blockchain protocols that are institutional-ready from day one. The initiative offers not only funding but also technical guidance, liquidity support, and access to Anchorage's client network.
Tough Market for Crypto Startups
The launch of the venture arm comes amid sluggish venture activity in the crypto space in 2025. While digital assets are showing growth, Anchorage Digital Ventures joins a trend of major players creating their own venture arms. For instance, Coinbase Ventures and Circle Ventures are actively investing in projects related to USDC.
Demo Day at Token2049
Selected projects will receive seed support, direct mentorship from Anchorage's teams, as well as help with market maker selection. A private demo day will take place at Token2049 in Singapore this October, where finalists will showcase their ideas to industry leaders.
By aligning with the next wave of protocols, Anchorage Digital Ventures hopes to shape the future of finance, with an emphasis on closer collaboration between institutions and emerging blockchain projects.
