Anchorage Digital announced the integration of Uniswap Labs’ Trading API into its institutional wallet Porto, aiming to improve corporate clients’ access to decentralized finance liquidity.
With this update, institutions can now swap tokens directly from the Porto dashboard, eliminating the need for external decentralized applications or leaving the platform.
Anchorage Digital Keeps Private Keys Offline in Physical Security Modules
The company implemented this tool with a focus on security and user experience. During every transaction, private keys remain offline inside physical, tamper-proof security modules — a standard that protects assets without limiting operational speed. Anchorage seeks to combine institutional-grade custody with the agility of DeFi environments, as more institutional players explore these alternatives.
According to Uniswap Labs, interest from banks and investment funds in these solutions continues to grow as they recognize the benefits of executing fast trades with guaranteed access to deep, immediate liquidity. This partnership will allow Anchorage to offer competitive pricing and simplify processes for clients who, until now, had to rely on intermediaries or tools poorly integrated with institutional custody environments.
Why Uniswap?
Anchorage aims to establish Porto as the preferred access point for these operations, integrating DeFi functions within an infrastructure that maintains the controls, audits, and protections required for handling large volumes. The company plans to expand these integrations over the coming months, following a trend already adopted by firms like Ledger, which integrated the Uniswap API into its Ledger Live platform back in January.
The steady growth of Uniswap within the DeFi market was another reason behind this partnership. The protocol currently manages over $4.5 billion in total value locked and captured 27% of decentralized exchange spot volume in May, with over $92 billion in trading activity
