Anchorage Digital, the federally regulated crypto bank in the United States, announced that it will serve as the institutional custodian for tokenized CETES—Mexican government debt instruments issued by Etherfuse on the Stellar blockchain.
How Tokenized CETES Operate
Etherfuse transforms short‑term Mexican treasury certificates into digital assets that reside on Stellar, a network renowned for fast, low‑cost transfers. The blockchain layer records each CETE token, enabling transparent ownership and real‑time settlement. Anchorage Digital secures these tokens on behalf of investors, applying its crypto‑grade custody protocols.
Strategic Partnerships and Market Impact
The custodial service follows Anchorage Digital’s recent collaboration with Grupo Salinas, a Mexican conglomerate that focuses on finance, retail, and telecommunications. That alliance introduced cross‑border settlement solutions, positioning the firm to attract institutional investors seeking blockchain‑based exposure to sovereign debt. By bridging traditional treasury markets with crypto infrastructure, the move may broaden the market for tokenized assets and deepen investor confidence in digital custody.
