As a seasoned researcher with a keen eye for emerging trends and a heart for blockchain technology, this partnership between Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. and Stacks is a beacon of hope in the rapidly evolving Bitcoin landscape. Having closely followed the growth of L2 solutions and their potential to revolutionize the crypto ecosystem, it’s fascinating to witness such strategic collaborations unfold.
Through a strategic collaboration, Anchorage Digital Bank, a leading institution in digital asset custody, is broadening its services within the Bitcoin layer-2 environment by teaming up with Stacks
Stacks, a prominent L2 (Layer 2) solution for Bitcoin (BTC), has just achieved a significant milestone with its Nakamoto upgrade. This collaboration marks a first as Stacks now integrates Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., granting STX holders the ability to utilize custodial services
In an announcement on Sept. 4, Anchorage Digital announced that it had added crypto custody support for STX, marking its official entry into the Bitcoin L2 ecosystem.
“Stacks-type Layer 2 technologies are pioneering a fresh concept for the Bitcoin environment, and it’s attracting attention from institutions.

The growing Bitcoin L2 ecosystem
Bitcoin remains supreme in the market, leading as the premier digital currency, with institutional interest noticeably increasing over the past few months. A significant portion of this acclaim and interest can be attributed to emerging possibilities offered by layer-2 networks – an associated Bitcoin market infrastructure that experts believe presents a substantial future opportunity
In the realm of cryptocurrency, I’ve noticed that top-tier venture capital firms have been heavily investing in Bitcoin Layer 2 (L2) projects lately. As per a recent report, an impressive $94.6 million, accounting for approximately 42.4% of investments in the L2 space, were poured into Bitcoin L2 solution development during the second quarter of 2024
With numerous initiatives focusing on boosting Bitcoin’s scalability and widening its functionalities, the market is keenly observing emerging use cases. One such initiative is Stacks, a project that went live in 2021, which experts predict could unlock an ecosystem with a potential capital value exceeding $800 billion
The project’s Nakamoto upgrade is crucial to the unlocking of decentralized finance applications on Bitcoin. Its sBTC token will be crucial in Bitcoin DeFi, gaming, and other applications.
