The Anchorage Digital RFQ (Request for Quote) system is available 24/7/365 via the web dashboard and API. Quote requests are routed to top dealer desks to obtain the most favorable pricing. Quotes can be requested buy-side, sell-side, or two-way. Trades settle on a net-settlement basis, typically end-of-day and no later than 24 hours post-trade. Confirmation statements are emailed immediately upon execution.

​
Trade history and settlement status

View trade details and settlement status under the Trades tab.

​
Settlement timing

Settlement runs in a daily window with our liquidity providers, after which proceeds settle to your account. Plan around T+1: under the Hold agreement, trades settle no later than T+1, while legacy A1 agreements can allow longer. Settlement follows this cadence and can’t be expedited.

​
Cross-entity settlement

If one entity trades and a different entity funds the trade or receives the proceeds, an authorization or instruction letter is required before settlement. Prefunding thresholds are also set per agreement. Both are contract-driven—contact your account team to put them in place.
