How Arch protects borrowers

Arch Lending is built on transparency, custody with a qualified custodian, and regulatory compliance. Licensed under NMLS #2637200, with custody by Anchorage Digital and $100M Lloyd's of London insurance.

Six pillars of borrower protection

Zero rehypothecation, ever Your crypto is never lent, staked, traded, or used for any purpose other than securing your loan. This isn't a policy that can change; it's fundamental to how Arch operates.

Qualified custodian Anchorage Digital is the only federally chartered digital asset bank in the U.S., regulated by the OCC, with SOC 2 Type II certification and institutional-grade cold storage with MPC keys.

$100M insurance Anchorage Digital maintains comprehensive coverage through Lloyd's of London, protecting against theft, hacking, and internal fraud, in addition to operational safeguards.

Bankruptcy-remote Your collateral is legally separated from Arch's corporate assets and held by Anchorage Digital. In any corporate event, your crypto is not part of Arch's estate or claimable by creditors.

Regulatory compliance Arch Lending operates under NMLS #2637200 with state-level lending licenses across 44 states. Anchorage Digital is regulated by the OCC as a national trust bank.

Backed by leading investors Morgan Creek Digital, Castle Island Ventures, Galaxy Ventures, BitGo Ventures, and Alumni Ventures have invested in Arch's mission to build the most trusted crypto lending platform.
