# Anchored > The global digital operating system for real-world assets. Anchored provides institutional-grade infrastructure for the compliant issuance, redemption and distribution of tokenized stocks, ETFs and fund products, each backed 1:1 by the underlying asset held in regulated custody. The platform is built for two audiences: distribution partners — exchanges, neobanks, wallets and DeFi protocols — that want to offer tokenized real-world assets without building the underlying infrastructure, legal framework and broker relationships themselves; and professional investors who want direct onchain access to U.S. equities and institutional fund strategies. ## Entities and regulatory structure Anchored is a multi-entity group. Different entities perform different roles and hold different regulatory statuses; they should not be generalised across the group. The entity and role that apply to a given product are stated in that product's documentation. - Anchored Capital Ltd (BVI) — issuer of Anchored tokenized products, unless a specific product document states otherwise. - Anchored Finance SPC (Cayman Islands) — segregated portfolio company registered with CIMA, used as the underlying fund vehicle. Each product line sits in its own segregated portfolio, so the assets and liabilities of one portfolio are ring-fenced from another. - Anchored Advisors Ltd (BVI) — BVI FSC Approved Manager. Also the controller of personal data named in the website's privacy notice and cookies policy. - Anchored Labs Ltd — operator of this website, and technology and platform services. Named in the terms of use. Not the token issuer. Brokerage, custody, fund administration, banking, pricing and market data are provided by third-party regulated service providers rather than by Anchored entities. ## Products ### Tokenized Stocks and ETFs U.S.-listed equities and ETFs issued as standard ERC-20 tokens. - Tokens follow a simple naming convention: the prefix `a` plus the underlying ticker. Apple (AAPL) becomes `aAAPL`, Tesla (TSLA) becomes `aTSLA`, the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) becomes `aSPY`. - Every token is backed 1:1 by the corresponding underlying share, purchased through a FINRA-registered, self-clearing broker-dealer that is a direct member of DTCC and NSCC. This is not synthetic exposure — real shares are held. - Minting is linked to execution: a token is created only after the corresponding purchase has been executed and confirmed. An unfilled order mints nothing, and a partial fill mints only the filled amount, so token supply never runs ahead of the shares held. - Redemption reverses the flow: the token is burned, the underlying share is sold, and the net proceeds are returned in stablecoins, subject to fees, market hours, liquidity and compliance checks. - Held in a segregated fund structure with an independent fund administrator calculating NAV daily. - Mint by sending stablecoins, redeem back to stablecoins. No bank wires and no fiat intermediaries for the end user. - Fractional by default: there is no minimum unit. - Cash dividends are distributed automatically as USDC to holders' wallets, with no claim or action required. - Corporate actions such as stock splits, reverse splits and ticker changes are reflected through token or balance adjustments, so the intended economic exposure is preserved. - Tokens represent economic exposure only. They do not confer voting rights, shareholder reporting rights, or direct legal ownership of the underlying share. - Page: https://anchored.finance/stocks - Docs: https://docs.anchored.finance/getting-started/anchored-tokens ### Tokenized Funds Tokenized access to institutional fund strategies, live on Ethereum. - Anchored Capital Ltd issues the token; the matching segregated portfolio of Anchored Finance SPC holds the underlying fund interests. - Three funds are live: - Anchored Diversified Hedge Fund (`aDHF`) — multi-strategy. A diversified fund of top-tier funds, targeting consistent returns with relatively low volatility and drawdown. - Anchored Liquid Strategies Fund (`aLSF`) — monthly liquidity. A multi-strategy fund of funds diversified across statistical arbitrage, long/short equity and macro. - Anchored AI Strategies Fund (`aAIF`) — AI-focused. A concentrated long/short equity strategy covering AI and semiconductor opportunities. - Pricing follows the net asset value reported for the underlying fund or share class, not a live market price. NAV frequency is set by the underlying fund. - Subscription and redemption follow the underlying fund's dealing schedule, which can involve notice periods, cut-off dates, redemption windows, lock-ups or fund-level gates. Tokenized funds are therefore generally less liquid than tokenized stocks. Current windows are shown per fund on the product page. - Page: https://anchored.finance/funds - Docs: https://docs.anchored.finance/getting-started/quickstart ### Pre-IPO Access Tokenized pre-IPO and late-stage private company exposure through an onchain subscription and allocation flow. - Page: https://anchored.finance/ipo ## Networks Anchored tokens are deployed on Ethereum, Base, Monad and Arbitrum. They are standard ERC-20 tokens, so they work with any wallet or application supporting ERC-20 on those networks. - Contract addresses: https://docs.anchored.finance/getting-started/anchored-tokens ## Trust and transparency - Reserves are verified by Accountable (https://accountable.capital), an independent third party with API-level access to the custody accounts. It checks that the shares held by the custodian match or exceed the total token supply onchain, and publishes the result publicly. - Proof of Reserves is updated every 15 minutes: https://accountable.anchored.finance/ - Dashboard: https://anchored.finance/proof-of-reserves - Docs: https://docs.anchored.finance/general/trust-and-transparency - Smart contracts have been audited by Sherlock (https://sherlock.xyz) and Three Sigma (https://threesigma.xyz): https://docs.anchored.finance/general/smart-contract-audits ## Trading hours Anchored tokenized stocks trade 24/5: from Sunday evening through Friday evening (Eastern Time), following the session structure of the underlying U.S. equity markets plus overnight access. The four sessions below are consecutive, so the market is continuously open across the trading week. - Overnight: 8:00 PM – 4:00 AM ET - Pre-market: 4:00 AM – 9:30 AM ET - Regular market: 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET - After-hours: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM ET Trading is closed on weekends and U.S. market holidays. Liquidity outside core hours is generally lower, with wider spreads and smaller maximum order sizes. - Docs: https://docs.anchored.finance/getting-started/trading-hours ## Where to trade Anchored is the issuer, not the venue. Already-issued tokens trade on the platforms of Anchored's distribution partners, and because they are standard ERC-20s they can also be held or used in any compatible wallet or DeFi protocol. - Monday Trade (https://monday.trade) — an all-in-one DEX on Monad.

Anchored products are not intended for U.S. persons, and residents and entities of certain other prohibited jurisdictions cannot subscribe for, purchase or redeem Anchored tokenized products either. Buying or selling an already-issued token on a distribution partner's platform is a secondary-market trade and follows that platform's own eligibility rules rather than Anchored's onboarding process. Certain Anchored tokenized products carry compliance controls that can restrict transfers, pause activity or block prohibited transactions where required for sanctions, fraud prevention, security, settlement or regulatory reasons. - Eligibility and prohibited jurisdictions: https://docs.anchored.finance/getting-started/eligibility - How to onboard: https://docs.anchored.finance/getting-started/how-to-onboard - Investment and redemption: https://docs.anchored.finance/getting-started/investment-and-redemption ## Machine-readable content The full documentation is published with GitBook and is available to agents in plain Markdown: - Documentation index: https://docs.anchored.finance/llms.txt - Full documentation text: https://docs.anchored.finance/llms-full.txt - Any documentation page as Markdown: append `.md` to its URL, e.g. https://docs.anchored.finance/getting-started/anchored-tokens.md - Pages can also be queried directly with an `?ask=` parameter on the `.md` URL. - Trading API: https://docs.anchored.finance/trading-api/readme - Token list (Uniswap Token List format — contract addresses, symbols, decimals and chain IDs for every Anchored token): https://anchored.finance/tokenlist.json ## Links - Website: https://anchored.finance - App: https://app.anchored.finance - Documentation: https://docs.anchored.finance - Proof of Reserves: https://accountable.anchored.finance - X (Twitter): https://x.com/AnchoredFi - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/anchored-fi/ - Contact: info@anchored.finance ## Risks Anchored tokens are linked to financial assets whose value can rise or fall, and holders may lose some or all of the amount invested. Returns are not guaranteed and past performance of an underlying stock, ETF or fund strategy is not a reliable indicator of future results. Risks include market risk, liquidity risk, tracking error, valuation risk, redemption delays and fund-level gating, counterparty and custody risk, smart-contract and blockchain network risk, and regulatory and tax risk. Product-specific risks are set out in the relevant offering documents. Nothing on this site or in this file is investment, legal, tax or accounting advice. - Risk disclosure: https://anchored.finance/risk ## Legal - Disclaimer: https://docs.anchored.finance/general/legal/disclaimer - Terms of Service: https://docs.anchored.finance/general/legal/terms-of-service - Privacy Policy: https://docs.anchored.finance/general/legal/privacy-policy - Cookies Policy: https://docs.anchored.finance/general/legal/cookies-policy
