[Anchorage Digital Seeking to Raise $200M to $400M Ahead of IPO Next Year] BlockBeats News, January 17, citing Bloomberg sources, the first federally chartered digital asset bank in the U.S., Anchorage Digital, is seeking a new round of funding while exploring potential plans for a public listing. One anonymous source stated that Anchorage plans to raise $200 million to $400 million ahead of a possible initial public offering (IPO) next year, with its valuation strategy still being finalized. The federal charter of Anchorage Digital Bank NA allows it to issue stablecoins in the U.S. under the GENIUS Act, which came into effect this July. In September, the company announced plans to collaborate with Tether Holdings SA, the world's largest stablecoin issuer headquartered in El Salvador, to launch the USAT token for the U.S. market. Anchorage completed a $350 million funding round at the end of 2021, led by investment firm KKR, with participation from Goldman Sachs, Singapore's GIC, and Apollo Credit Funds. This round brought Anchorage's valuation to over $3 billion.
