Anchored

What Anchored does

Anchored (legal entity: Anchored Finance) is a privately held B2B blockchain infrastructure provider building a digital operating layer for global capital markets. The company offers end-to-end tokenization infrastructure for real-world assets, covering issuance, 1:1 backing, distribution, and redemption, and currently products three core verticals: tokenized public stocks (initially the top 10 Nasdaq-listed equities on the Monad blockchain, with a roadmap to 100+ equities plus Hong Kong stocks and ETFs), tokenized funds aimed at institutional-grade distribution, and tokenized IPO access.

Underlying technology combines on-chain settlement in USDC, 1:1 asset backing held in FINRA-registered, self-clearing broker-dealer custody with segregated accounts, direct NASDAQ/NYSE liquidity access through an integrated market maker network, sub-100ms execution powered by account abstraction, and Web2-style interfaces. The stack is built on Ethereum and Monad, with APIs documented at docs.anchored.finance.

Anchored operates an API-first, channel-partner-led go-to-market. It does not market directly to end users at scale but instead distributes through licensed digital asset exchanges (EX.IO in Hong Kong), DeFi-native DEX platforms (Monday Trade on Monad), and derivatives protocols (SynFutures), in addition to a direct consumer-facing app at app.anchored.finance. Revenue mechanics are described as transaction-fee-based on trading volume flowing through its infrastructure, with quote-based enterprise pricing for partners and a $10 minimum fractional entry at the retail layer. Target customers are non-US retail and institutional investors seeking 24/5 access to US equities, plus crypto-native platforms and institutional fund managers looking for compliant RWA rails.

Core offering

Anchored provides end-to-end blockchain infrastructure for tokenizing, distributing, and trading real-world assets (RWAs), starting with tokenized US public stocks, funds, and IPO access. The platform handles issuance, 1:1 asset backing through FINRA-registered custody, distribution via partner exchanges and DeFi protocols, and USDC settlement with on-chain self-custody. It is built as a programmable digital operating layer for global capital markets, enabling partner platforms to offer tokenized traditional assets without building their own stack.

Product overview

Anchored operates as a digital operating layer for global capital markets, offering a unified platform with three core product verticals: Tokenized Public Stocks (institutional-grade infrastructure for compliant issuance and secondary liquidity of public market assets starting with top 10 Nasdaq-listed equities), Tokenized Funds (digital access to fund products traditionally limited to private banking and institutional channels), and IPO Access (compliant, tokenized participation in public offerings). The platform provides end-to-end RWA infrastructure including issuance, 1:1 backing, distribution, and redemption capabilities. Built on a compliance-first, globally scalable architecture supporting regulated participation across major financial jurisdictions.

Emerging players

• Stobox: Stobox offers tokenization, issuance, and secondary trading infrastructure for real-world assets including funds and equities. It targets similar issuers and distributors as Anchored but with a different go-to-market emphasis.
• Plume Network: Plume is an L1 blockchain purpose-built for real-world asset tokenization. While it sits a layer below Anchored, it competes for the same RWA issuers and applications, making it a partial peer.
• Polytrade: Polytrade is a marketplace for tokenized real-world assets (trade finance, RWAs) with onchain secondary trading. It overlaps with Anchored's RWA distribution and trading layer but with a different asset focus.

Direct peers

• Ondo Finance: Ondo Finance issues tokenized US Treasuries and other yield-bearing RWAs, and operates the Ondo Chain for institutional-grade tokenized assets. It overlaps with Anchored's RWA tokenization mandate and institutional custody approach.
• Swarm Markets: Swarm Markets is a regulated platform for tokenized securities and onchain trading of real-world assets. It is a comparable compliance-first, tokenized-securities venue serving both DeFi and traditional investors.
• Securitize: Securitize is an enterprise tokenization platform providing issuance, compliance, and lifecycle management for digital securities. Anchored competes in the same end-to-end RWA infrastructure category with similar regulatory positioning.
• Backed Finance: Backed Finance issues tokenized securities (stocks, ETFs, bonds) backed by real underlying assets with regulated custodians. It is the closest direct peer to Anchored, targeting similar onchain distribution of public equities.
• Maple Finance: Maple Finance provides tokenized credit and real-world asset infrastructure onchain with institutional underwriting. While more credit-focused, it competes for the same institutional RWA-tokenization budget Anchored targets.
• Centrifuge: Centrifuge is a tokenization protocol for real-world assets (invoices, receivables, funds) onchain. It is a direct peer in the RWA infrastructure space with comparable issuer onboarding and token lifecycle tooling.

Others

• Alpaca: Alpaca is the brokerage-API partner powering Anchored's tokenized US equities product. It is included as an enabling/partner peer rather than a competitor, but its strategic decisions directly determine Anchored's product capabilities.
