Coinbase launches a stablecoin credit fund.
Coinbase Asset Management has officially announced the creation of a stablecoin credit fund called CUSHY expected to launch later in Q2 2026. This will be in partnership with Superstate and Northern Trust, and will initially include popular networks Base, Ethereum and Solana.
Coinbase Asset Management President Anthony Bassili expressed:
Stablecoins are the bedrock of the next financial era, giving billions of people access to global financial rails. With CUSHY, we are fusing the high-velocity efficiency of digital rails with the institutional rigor of traditional credit.”
Coinbase is expected to implement a mix of public and private credit for yield strategies. By using the Superstate’s FundOS system to offer tokenized shares to accredited investors, this can improve liquidity from TradFi (traditional finance) and DeFi (decentralized finance) pools.
Other benefits involve the speed at which shares can be bought, transferred, and redeemed using stablecoins. It is also possible for investors to receive yield on a more regular basis (days vs. months).
