Deutsche Börse Group subsidiary Crypto Finance has launched a custody-native pledging solution, Crypto Finance AnchorNote.
The platform will act as collateral custodian, enabling off-exchange settlement and yield-enhancing services.
“With Crypto Finance AnchorNote, we are closing a critical gap between custody and capital efficiency,” said Philipp E. Dettwiler, head of custody and settlement at Crypto Finance.
The initial rollout focuses on Switzerland, with plans to expand into Europe, offering regulated institutions a new level of capital efficiency and security.
“Together with BridgePort, we are delivering an integrated solution that allows institutional clients to operate securely, flexibly, and in real time.”
AnchorNote allows institutions to trade digital assets across venues while assets remain in custody, with BridgePort handling messaging and Crypto Finance managing collateral for secure off-exchange settlement.
Built on Crypto Finance’s settlement engine, the platform eliminates pre-funding, reduces counterparty risk, and enables instant trading while maintaining assets in regulated custody.
“This infrastructure lays the groundwork for scalable asset mobility needed by institutional traders,” said Nirup Ramalingam, CEO of BridgePort.
“With BridgePort serving as the middleware coordination layer, clients can connect to leading custodians and exchanges through a single, trusted interface.”
