3iQ Adds Anchorage Digital as Sub-Custodian for Bitcoin ETF

3iQ Corp. added Anchorage Digital as a sub-custodian for its digital asset ETFs effective September 21, 2026. This move expands the custody framework for the firm’s Bitcoin and Ether products without altering their investment strategies.

The company stated that this addition provides institutional-grade infrastructure and operational flexibility. Tetra Trust remains the primary custodian, having facilitated the integration of the new partner into the existing security controls.

Custody Structure Remains Unchanged

There is no change to the management fees or ticker symbols for the affected funds. The units will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under their current regulatory status.

Anchorage Digital brings the backing of its federally regulated digital asset bank. This infrastructure aligns with the operational resilience requirements for publicly listed digital asset investment vehicles.

Leadership Cites Operational Milestone

Tommaso Mancuso, President of 3iQ, described the decision as a key operational milestone. He emphasized that robust custody infrastructure is central to investor protection and long-term scalability in this market.

Nathan McCauley, CEO of Anchorage Digital, noted that the partnership deepens their relationship with 3iQ. He stated that their platform is built to provide the security and rigor demanded by public funds.

Regulatory Filing Required

3iQ will file a material change report regarding this sub-custodian addition. The document will be available on the SEDAR+ website under the fund profiles, as reported by PR Newswire Canada.

This development follows the earlier selection of Anchorage Digital as an infrastructure partner. It reflects the maturing nature of digital asset products and their need for standardized, regulated custody solutions.
