Curql, a collective of more than 160 credit unions investing in financial technology, has invested in Stablecore CUSO, whose digital asset core platform enables credit unions to provide stablecoin and other digital asset offerings to their members.
Following recent regulatory changes affecting digital assets, including the passage of the GENIUS Act in July 2025, credit unions may have greater opportunity to offer stablecoin and other digital asset services to members. According to Stablecore, launching those offerings can require updates to core processing systems, digital banking platforms and compliance infrastructure. The company said its platform integrates digital asset custody, blockchain infrastructure, compliance functions and ledgering capabilities into a single system designed to operate alongside existing technology.
"Credit unions need the ability to offer digital assets if they want to remain relevant, compete and retain deposits," Nick Evens, president/CEO of Curql, said in a prepared statement. "Stablecore removes the technology barrier. Our credit union owners see this as essential infrastructure for staying competitive in the years ahead."
Alex Treece, co-founder and CEO of Stablecore, said credit unions play a critical role in providing trusted services to millions of Americans.
"As digital assets and stablecoins continue to see rapid growth, credit unions must evolve to support these products in order to preserve their deposits, remain competitive and continue serving as their members' primary financial account," Treece said. "We're proud to welcome Curql as a strategic investor in our mission to ensure credit unions are at the forefront of compliant digital asset innovation."
Stablecore's platform enables community and regional banks and credit unions to offer stablecoins, tokenized deposits and digital asset products.
Curql has more than 50 fintech investments in its collective portfolio.
