According to Foresight News , Ethena Labs announced that Anchorage Digital Bank has officially become one of the custodians supporting the assets behind USDe, joining Copper and Ceffu in this role. Anchorage Digital Bank is the first federally licensed crypto-native bank in the United States, regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
The protocol currently enables addresses starting with 0xAFBb and 0xF270 (both storing Ethereum) as segregated wallets and incorporates them into the weekly published proof-of-reserve. Starting in January 2026, Anchorage will provide monthly signed and publicly available proof-of-custody. Furthermore, this custody scheme will be integrated into the USDe minting and burning smart contract, allowing users to instantly and on-demand exchange USDe for stablecoins.
