Anchorage Digital Introduces Platform Rewards for USDtb and USDe Holders

Anchorage Digital Bank is expanding access to USDtb, the first federally regulated stablecoin in the United States, following a partnership that makes the firm the sole issuer of the token.

Anchorage Digital Pushes USDtb Forward With Full Mint-and-Redeem Access

Anchorage Digital Bank now lets clients mint, redeem, and hold USDtb directly on its platform, adding reward collection into the mix for both USDtb and USDe — the synthetic dollar created by Ethena Labs.

According to the company’s statements shared with Bitcoin.com News, rewards are provided through Anchorage Digital Neo, Ltd., creating a more flexible setup for institutions looking to manage stablecoin-denominated treasury positions without the usual frills, lockups, or staking hoops.

Anchorage CEO Nathan McCauley framed the expansion as a way to strengthen transparent, compliant digital-dollar infrastructure, calling USDtb’s federally regulated status a “major milestone” in U.S. stablecoin development. He added that the new minting, redemption, and reward features aim to accelerate adoption on a global scale.

USDtb is designed with institutional use in mind, backed by short-duration U.S. Treasury assets — including positions in Blackrock’s BUIDL fund — and built to meet high regulatory and security standards. USDe, by contrast, maintains its peg through a delta-neutral model, pairing crypto asset holdings with offsetting perpetual futures positions.

Ethena Labs Founder Guy Young said Anchorage’s integration marks “a major milestone for USDtb adoption,” arguing that the pairing of rewards and regulatory oversight offers a template for future dollar-denominated digital assets.

For Anchorage clients, the system offers three core benefits: streamlined access to USDtb, yield-style rewards without sacrificing liquidity, and the ability to use both USDtb and USDe as collateral for capital-efficient strategies on the platform.

Anchorage Digital says clients can mint and redeem USDtb directly or through its trading desk, while USDe is available via conversions from USD, stablecoins, or other digital assets. The company positions the latest expansion as the next step toward a unified environment for custody, issuance, settlement, and reward features under federal oversight.
