Anchorage Digital, M0 launch modular U.S. stablecoin stack

Anchorage Digital and M0 on April 30, 2026 introduced a modular stablecoin issuance stack that combines M0’s middleware with Anchorage Digital’s regulated custody and reserve-management services.

The product packages M0’s infrastructure layer together with Anchorage’s issuance controls, custody and compliance oversight into a preintegrated stack designed to reduce the technical and operational steps required to issue a regulated U.S. digital dollar.

The partners said the stack targets fintechs, payment platforms and other institutional builders that want to deploy stablecoins for payments and embedded finance rather than solely for trading or treasury use. The design includes built-in compliance workflows, custody of reserves and audited reserve processes so tokens can be used in production environments and high-frequency commerce.

Anchorage Digital, a federally chartered crypto bank, will manage issuance controls, custody of reserves and the oversight of compliance processes. M0 supplies middleware and tooling that enable tokens to interoperate with other M0-powered assets and with broader blockchain ecosystems.

Anchorage and M0 said the unified stack creates a shared liquidity environment and makes new tokens compatible with a wider range of applications and existing M0 assets. The firms cited the roughly $160 billion stablecoin market as the immediate addressable opportunity for the offering.

The firms said the preintegrated approach is intended to shorten time to market and lower operational costs for institutional issuers. Anchorage and M0 also described the stack as a way to make reserve handling and auditing more transparent.

“Stablecoin adoption is expanding across a wider range of use cases and platforms. By partnering with M0, we’re extending our issuance platform to support that growth, while maintaining the regulatory, operational, and security standards our partners rely on,” Nathan McCauley, co-founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital, said.

Luca Prosperi, co-founder and CEO of M0, described his company as built to give financial institutions flexibility to scale digital money and called Anchorage’s regulated issuance layer a necessary complement to M0’s middleware and tooling.

The partners expect the offering to appeal to banks, fintech firms and payments companies looking for a managed path to issue and operate regulated U.S. digital dollars.
