Anchorage Digital and Grupo Salinas Partner on Cross-Border Stablecoin Settlement

Anchorage Digital and Grupo Salinas announced a partnership to power cross-border settlement using federally issued stablecoins. The companies said the collaboration will focus on transactions between the United States and Mexico. They plan to use stablecoins issued by regulated U.S. entities to reduce settlement times and costs associated with traditional cross-border payments.

The partnership combines Anchorage Digital's digital asset infrastructure with Grupo Salinas' regional business network. This integration is intended to support businesses and financial institutions handling payments across the border.

Federally issued stablecoins refer to those backed by U.S.

Treasuries and held in regulated custody. The companies stated these instruments can provide transparency and finality in settlement that traditional banking rails sometimes lack. The announcement comes as stablecoin usage in corporate treasury and cross-border applications has grown. Both firms said the partnership will initially target corporate clients moving funds between the two countries.

The companies have not disclosed a specific launch date or transaction volume targets. They indicated that technical integration and regulatory coordination are underway to ensure compliance with applicable laws in both jurisdictions. Anchorage Digital and Grupo Salinas said the initiative reflects broader industry efforts to incorporate digital assets into established financial workflows.
