Stronghold is a financial services provider that offers payment and digital asset infrastructure for businesses. Its core activities are divided into two main areas: providing modern payment processing solutions, such as embedded payments and merchant services, and operating a digital asset exchange and trading platform. A key feature of its infrastructure is the use of the USD Anchor, a digital dollar that is minted 1:1 against U.S. dollars held in its reserves at a federally insured bank. This allows for the stable and transfer of value on open networks like the Stellar blockchain. The company's technology is designed to facilitate faster, cheaper, and more transparent financial transactions for its enterprise clients.Stronghold's goals are centered on connecting traditional banking systems with blockchain technology to improve the efficiency of financial operations. It provides APIs and tools that enable other companies to integrate digital asset transactions and modern payment capabilities into their own products and services. The ecosystem is supported by its Stronghold (SHx) token, which is used to provide holders with discounted fees within its network.
