Curql Invests in Stablecore to Bring Stablecoin and Digital Asset Infrastructure to Credit Unions

Investment adds core-level capabilities for credit unions looking to offer stablecoins and digital assets

Des Moines, IA — FEB 10, 2026 Curql, a collective of 160+ credit unions jointly investing in fintech, has added Stablecore CUSO to its investment portfolio. Stablecore is a digital asset core platform that enables credit unions to offer stablecoin and digital asset products to their members.

Following landmark regulatory changes around digital assets - including from the GENIUS Act passed in July 2025 - credit unions are well positioned to offer stablecoins and digital assets to their members. But they face critical gaps in their existing technology stack, including cores, digital banking and compliance tools. Stablecore solves these gaps by integrating digital asset custody, blockchain infrastructure, compliance, and digital asset ledgering into a single platform that works alongside existing systems.

"Credit unions need the ability to offer digital assets if they want to remain relevant, compete and retain deposits," said Nick Evens, President and CEO of Curql. "Stablecore removes the technology barrier. Our credit union owners see this as essential infrastructure for staying competitive in the years ahead."

"At Curql, our mission is to bring transformative technology to the credit union industry.” said Martin Walker, Principal, Curql Fund. “While blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies and digital assets aren’t necessarily “new” anymore, we believe that stablecoins and tokenization enable several use cases that will be disruptive to payments, money movement, and operations within financial institutions.“

"Credit unions play a critical role in providing trusted, member-owned services to millions of Americans," said Alex Treece, co-founder and CEO of Stablecore. "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. 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."
