Crypto Bank Anchorage Launches VC Unit to Back Next-Gen Protocols

The new arm, Anchorage Digital Ventures, will fund and advise projects building core blockchain infrastructure. The company says the goal is to make protocols “institutional-ready from day one,” offering more than capital — including technical guidance, liquidity support, and access to Anchorage’s client network.

CEO Nathan McCauley framed the effort as clearing obstacles for founders: “The protocols launching today will define how value moves through the global economy tomorrow.”

A Tough Market for Crypto Startups

The launch comes amid sluggish crypto venture activity in 2025, even as digital asset markets rally. Anchorage joins a trend of large infrastructure players creating in-house VC arms — Coinbase Ventures has become a prolific investor, while Circle Ventures has focused on USDC-aligned projects.

Anchorage says it is prioritizing teams working on Bitcoin DeFi, tokenized real-world assets, decentralized identity, and tools for institutional adoption.

Demo Day at Token2049

Selected projects will receive seed support, direct mentorship from Anchorage’s engineering and go-to-market teams, and help with market maker selection. A private demo day will be hosted at Token2049 in Singapore this October, where finalists will showcase to industry leaders before grants are awarded.

By aligning itself with the next wave of protocols, Anchorage is betting that tighter integration between institutions and early blockchain projects will shape the future of finance.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
