Anchorage Digital Bank, the first federally chartered crypto bank in the US, has expanded its institutional custody services to include Etherlink, an Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible layer-2 network that settles on Tezos. The bank will now offer custody for Etherlink-based assets, including xU3O8, a token representing physical uranium.
In addition to xU3O8, Anchorage will support wrapped XTZ (WXTZ), liquid staking token stXTZ, stablecoins USDT, USDC and USDSM, and wrapped Ether (WETH). This integration allows Anchorage's institutional clients to custody assets issued on Etherlink through segregated accounts.
The xU3O8 token provides investors with exposure to physical uranium without the complexities of direct handling or storage. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that at current price levels, xU3O8 has a market capitalization of just over $9 million.
Prior to Anchorage's offering, digital asset custodian Hex Trust had integrated Etherlink in August 2025 to provide custody for xU3O8 and other assets on the network. Anchorage noted that tokenization of commodities like uranium allows for faster transfer and settlement compared to traditional methods, which typically involve specialist intermediaries and longer settlement periods.
