Stablecore just launched an early-access program giving US credit unions direct access to stablecoin infrastructure. Over $25 billion in combined assets are now exploring blockchain-based financial services for the first time.
The initiative, built with Circuit and Curql (representing 160+ credit unions), lets participants test stablecoin payments, tokenized deposits, crypto on/off-ramps and staking — all through their existing core banking systems.
This follows the NCUA's proposed licensing framework for stablecoin issuers operating through credit union subsidiaries. With more than 4,200 federally insured credit unions in the US, this could be the largest institutional on-ramp to stablecoins yet.
Will credit unions become the unexpected gateway to mainstream crypto adoption? Drop your thoughts below.
