Is Anchorage Digital Safe for Your Crypto. Jake Claver, recorded April 2026.
What this recording covers
Claver examines the regulatory structure and safety mechanisms governing federally chartered crypto banks. He explains that institutions operating under Office of the Comptroller of the Currency charters maintain segregated, bankruptcy-remote accounts with institutional insurance coverage. Claver contrasts this custodial standard with unsegregated platforms where clients risk becoming general creditors during corporate insolvencies. Under a qualified custodial model, accounts are established on a for-benefit-of basis directly in the client's legal name, ensuring the client retains sole ownership of the underlying assets. Claver illustrates this arrangement using a three-legged framework comprising the asset owner, the licensed institutional custodian supplying infrastructure, and the registered advisory firm overseeing management. If any single entity encounters operational disruption or organizational changes, the remaining components maintain asset security, enabling another qualified trust bank or fiduciary advisor to assume administrative oversight without compromising client ownership.
