Coinbase and Stablecore bring stablecoin and digital asset services to community and regional banks and credit unions

By CoinbaseSep 16, 2026

TL;DR: Coinbase is partnering with Stablecore to enable banks and credit unions to offer digital asset services, including trading, custody, and stablecoin payments, through their existing banking platforms. Together, Coinbase and Stablecore are modernizing banking infrastructure by providing a potential 3,000+ banks and credit unions access to these products.

Financial institutions face a practical question: how to offer regulated digital asset products without rebuilding the infrastructure they already run on. Coinbase and Stablecore are announcing their partnership – which is already underway with financial institutions including Amarillo National Bank in Texas – to unlock digital asset solutions for community and regional banks and credit unions. The partnership allows financial institutions to offer digital asset custody, trading, and stablecoin payments to customers without having to leave their existing banking platform.

As modern financial rails take shape on-chain, banks and credit unions should not have to sit on the sidelines. Stablecore, who exclusively serves community and regional banks and credit unions as customers, helps solve this problem by providing white-labeled solutions that integrate to existing banking technology rather than replace it: unifying all of the necessary components so financial institutions can offer tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and digital asset products inside the systems their customers already utilize. Stablecore's award-winning platform is already integrated with the core banking systems, digital banking platforms, and compliance systems community institutions run on. That footprint reaches more than 3,000 US banks and credit unions.

Banks keep the customer relationship

Digital assets and tokenized assets are becoming increasingly important financial offerings for both consumer and commercial clients. Banks who want to offer digital asset services should not have to set up a new tech stack to do so. This partnership gives them the ability to offer digital asset services under their own brand and on their own terms, while keeping deposit and lending relationships within local institutions.

“Community banks and credit unions shouldn’t have to choose between staying local and staying current. Together with Stablecore we are helping put them on the cutting edge of payments technology – cheaper, faster money movement, and the tools they need to stay strong for the communities they serve.”

— Alec Lovett, Head of Infrastructure Business, Coinbase

" Banks and credit unions should not have to move to completely new technology platforms to support digital assets for their clients. We built Stablecore to bring together all of the pieces so they don't have to."

— Alex Treece, Co-Founder and CEO, Stablecore

How it works

Banking customers can buy, sell, hold, make payments with and stake digital assets directly through their bank or credit union’s banking experiences
Stablecore manages the integrations and orchestration across the institutions’ existing technology platforms, including core banking, digital banking and compliance systems
Coinbase provides the underlying regulated digital asset infrastructure, including custody and exchange services

As digital assets become an increasingly important part of the financial system, access to the next era of finance should not be limited to the largest banks. Regional and community banks as well as credit unions serve millions of customers and play an essential role in their local communities. This partnership shows how they can compete and modernize their infrastructure for the next decade.
