Coinbase connects crypto services to 3,000+ U.S. banks
Sep 18, 2026
Coinbase has announced a Sept. 16 partnership with Stablecore to embed crypto trading, custody, staking, and stablecoin payments into banking systems whose integration footprint that reaches more than 3,000 U.S. banks and credit unions.
Coinbase services will sit inside existing bank platforms
Through the partnership, participating bank and credit union customers could buy, sell, hold, stake, and make payments with digital assets through their normal banking experience. Coinbase provides the underlying custody and exchange infrastructure, while Stablecore manages the connection between that infrastructure and each institution’s technology stack.
Amarillo National Bank is part of the early integration work
Amarillo National Bank appears across several Stablecore projects already moving toward production. In March, Q2 announced that Amarillo National Bank and Bank of Utah were among the early institutions working with Stablecore through Q2 Innovation Studio.
Stablecore is adding crypto monitoring through Verafin
Compliance infrastructure is developing alongside the banking integrations. Stablecore announced a Sept. 15 partnership with Nasdaq Verafin that combines digital asset transaction information with traditional bank customer data for financial-crime monitoring.
U.S. rules allow banks to use third-party crypto providers
Federal banking regulators have clarified several activities relevant to the Coinbase and Stablecore model.
The OCC confirmed in May 2025 that national banks and federal savings associations may provide crypto custody and execute customer-directed purchases and sales. Banks can outsource permissible crypto activities to third parties when they maintain appropriate vendor and risk controls.
Coinbase now has two community-bank distribution deals
The Stablecore agreement follows another Coinbase community-bank partnership announced six days earlier.
As crypto. news reported in its Coinbase-Moov coverage, Coinbase and Moov are working to bring stablecoin acceptance, merchant settlement, payouts and real-time funding to a network of more than 1,000 community banks and credit unions.
The two arrangements cover different parts of banking infrastructure. Moov focuses on payment acceptance, merchant settlement and funding through its payments stack, while Stablecore’s announced product set reaches trading, custody, staking, stablecoin payments and integration with core and compliance systems.
