Up to 20 financial institutions and large technology companies are in line to issue their own stablecoins with Anchorage Digital, CEO of the US-regulated cryptocurrency custody firm, Nathan McCauley, said at Consensus Miami 2026 on Thursday.
“Since the Genius Act was passed, Anchorage has won every single major stablecoin issuance mandate across the landscape,” McCauley said. “We have really between a dozen and maybe even 20 institutional issuers or large tech company issuers that will come and issue their stablecoin with us.”
“The type of entries we see are banks that want to achieve a very specific goal, stablecoin issuers that say, ‘Hey, I have a distribution channel where I can put my stablecoin to good use,'” he added.
Anchorage was the first federally chartered crypto bank in the US, so it’s no surprise that the company is now reaping the benefits of a nascent regulatory framework in the United States.
To better meet that demand, Anchorage last month announced a partnership with M0, a technology provider that enables global institutions to mint fully configurable stablecoins, which also works with companies like Stripe, Moonpay and MetaMask.
Another major announcement for Anchorage was AI-based “Agent Banking,” a way for AI agents to transact and manage funds, in partnership with Google Cloud infrastructure.
McCauley described the agent trade as “a complete reinvention of the landscape.”
“This is happening with AI agents and at the same time we are seeing a fundamental restructuring of money itself through stablecoins and digital assets. We are here at this conference and it is the main thing we are talking about. But I still think it is very underrated.”
