Anchorage Digital has launched Agentic Banking to help institutions control how AI agents access and move money.
The company is also expanding its partnership with Google Cloud, combining Google’s AI and MPC key management infrastructure with Anchorage Digital’s regulated financial rails.
The companies said Google’s Gemini models will support reasoning for agentic commerce decisions, while Anchorage Digital provides the regulated settlement layer.
Agentic Banking lets institutions set spending policies, Know Your Agent identity standards and compliance checks before an AI agent completes a transaction.
The platform supports settlement through stablecoins, fiat rails or tokenised credentials.
Nathan McCauley, Co-Founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital, said,
“We’re entering a world where agents don’t just inform decisions, they make them, and act on them.
But for that to work in the real economy, agents need more than intelligence, they need regulated access to capital. Agentic Banking is the bridge between those two worlds: a system that brings trust, governance, and real financial rails to autonomous systems.”
The partnership will also support cloud-based crypto key management and transaction infrastructure for institutional digital asset services.
The companies are focusing on a B2B2C stack covering wallets, balance and transaction governance, trading, staking and operational workflows. It is designed to support stablecoins and digital assets such as BTC, ETH and SOL.
Rich Widmann, Head of Strategy, Web3 at Google Cloud, said,
“As global financial institutions increasingly adopt digital assets, they require secure, scalable, and compliant infrastructure to build on.
By pairing Anchorage Digital’s regulated digital asset capabilities with our scalable infrastructure, we’re helping to unlock the next wave of institutional adoption.”
Anchorage Digital said the collaboration is aimed at helping institutions embed digital asset services into existing systems and prepare for agentic commerce.
