Crypto Finance, part of Deutsche Börse Group, launched Anchornote, a custody‑native pledging solution that enables off‑exchange settlement and yield‑enhancing services by acting as collateral custodian, the firm announced.
Crypto Finance and Bridgeport Launch Anchornote for Off‑Exchange, Custody‑Native Settlement

Anchornote uses Bridgeport as middleware to coordinate messaging and connect to multiple trading venues simultaneously, allowing institutional clients to trade across platforms without moving assets out of regulated custody. The initial rollout targets Switzerland with planned expansion into Europe, offering pre‑order credit allocation, rapid collateral reallocation, and reduced counterparty and pre‑funding needs via a UI and robust API for institutional integration. Built on Crypto Finance’s settlement engine and with Bridgeport handling coordination, Anchornote aims to improve capital efficiency and security for regulated institutions while meeting institutional settlement standards. Crypto Finance said the solution supports real‑time trading access across leading venues while assets remain in supervised custody.
