Anchorage Digital Bank, the first federally chartered crypto bank in the United States, has expanded custody services to include support for Etherlink and seven assets on the Tezos layer-2 network. Among the newly supported tokens is xU3O8, a digital representation of physical uranium that allows investors to gain commodity exposure without directly storing it. According to data from CoinMarketCap, xU3O8 currently holds a market capitalization just above $9 million.
The other assets now eligible for custody include wrapped XTZ (WXTZ), the liquid staking token stXTZ, stablecoins USDT, USDC and USDSM, and wrapped Ether (WETH). This integration enables institutional clients to hold these tokens in segregated accounts at the federally chartered bank, which settles all transactions on the Ethereum Virtual Machine‑compatible layer‑2 network that finalizes on Tezos.
Anchorage noted that traditional physical uranium exposure typically involves specialist intermediaries, lengthy settlement periods and relatively high minimum investment sizes. The company stated that tokenization allows the commodity to be transferred and settled in minutes rather than weeks.
Anchorage is not the first institutional custodian to support xU3O8; in August 2025, digital asset custodian Hex Trust integrated Etherlink to offer custody for the uranium token and other assets issued on the network.
