Anchorage Digital has integrated Uniswap’s Trading API into its self-custody wallet Porto, enabling institutional clients to access decentralised finance liquidity directly from their web dashboard.
The integration allows liquid funds, asset managers, protocol foundations and treasury operations to execute trades on the Uniswap Protocol and UniswapX without leaving Anchorage Digital’s platform or relying on external decentralised applications.
Institutional users can now access DeFi liquidity through air-gapped, tamper-proof hardware security modules that maintain custody standards whilst enabling direct on-chain trading. The integration eliminates workflow dependencies on third-party applications that have traditionally required institutions to compromise on security protocols.
“Anchorage Digital’s integration with Uniswap Labs empowers institutions in DeFi to move at crypto-native speed without compromising security,” said Nathan McCauley, chief executive and co-founder of Anchorage Digital.
The firm says the development addresses institutional demand for DeFi access while maintaining regulatory compliance and custody standards. Traditional asset managers have historically faced barriers accessing decentralised protocols due to security and operational requirements.
Hayden Adams, founder and chief executive of Uniswap Labs, said institutions increasingly recognise DeFi technology’s capabilities. “We are pleased to work with Anchorage Digital to provide their clients with access to competitive pricing and deep liquidity,” he said.
Uniswap Protocol has processed over US$3 trillion in all-time volume across peer-to-peer digital asset swapping. The protocol’s API integration into institutional custody platforms represents growing convergence between traditional finance infrastructure and decentralised finance protocols.
Anchorage Digital operates the only federally chartered crypto bank in the US through Anchorage Digital Bank, alongside licensed operations in Singapore and New York.
