Binance Expands Triparty Banking Network with Anchorage Digital’s Atlas Integration

Binance is the first crypto exchange to partner Anchorage Digital’s Off-Exchange Settlement, eligible institutional clients gain another custody-separated pathway to access Binance liquidity

Binance announced an integration with Anchorage Digital, a global crypto bank and platform that enables institutions to participate in digital assets, expanding Binance’s Triparty Banking network and marking the first exchange integration within Anchorage Digital’s Atlas institutional settlement platform. The integration gives eligible institutional and professional clients another banking partner to manage collateral, custody, and exchange access through a custody-separated model while accessing Binance liquidity seamlessly.

As institutional participation in digital assets grows, professional investors increasingly expect market structure that more closely reflects traditional finance standards, where custody and execution are structurally separated. Because digital asset market infrastructure is still maturing, institutions have historically often had to pre-fund exchange accounts, creating operational and counterparty considerations. For firms operating under strict risk, custody, and fiduciary mandates, this has been a structural barrier to participation at scale.

Binance was the first digital assets exchange to pilot triparty banking in 2023 and has continued to grow its network of banking partners and expand institutional settlement options to help clients access liquidity while maintaining greater control over collateral and custody. Through this integration with Anchorage Digital’s Off-Exchange Settlement, powered by Atlas, eligible institutions now have another banking option to maintain independent custody of their pledged cash and crypto collateral while trading on Binance.

“Binance has continued to expand institutional-grade infrastructure that helps professional traders access crypto markets more securely and efficiently. Working with Anchorage Digital on off-exchange settlement gives eligible institutional clients another way to access Binance liquidity while managing custody and collateral through a model that is more familiar to traditional financial markets,” said Catherine Chen, Head of VIP & Institutional at Binance.

“Institutions need crypto market structure that reflects the standards they already rely on in traditional finance. Off-Exchange Settlement, powered by Atlas, is designed to separate custody from execution, helping institutions access exchange liquidity while keeping assets in secure custody. By working with Binance, we’re bringing that model to the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume,” said Nathan McCauley, Co-Founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital.

Binance Banking Triparty supports institutional workflows across trading, settlement, lending, collateral management, and other capital markets use cases. Subject to eligibility and availability, it also enables collateral management across cash and cash equivalents, crypto assets, and select tokenized real-world assets, including money market funds such as BlackRock’s BUIDL, Circle’s USYC, and Franklin Templeton’s iBENJI, helping institutions manage their trading margin with greater capital efficiency.
