Summary Story
Stablecore, a U.S.-based fintech startup, has raised $20 million in its latest funding round led by Norwest, with backing from Coinbase Ventures, BankTech Ventures, Bank of Utah, Curql, EJF Ventures, and others.
Its mission: to enable community and regional banks and credit unions across the U.S. to offer digital asset services—including stablecoins, tokenized deposits, stablecoin transactions, and crypto-backed loans—without requiring those institutions to rip out or rewrite their existing banking technology stacks.
The timing aligns with regulatory change: July 2025 saw the passage of the GENIUS Act, which clarifies that stablecoins and digital assets are permissible within U.S. banking institutions. Stablecore plans to use the funding for hiring and expanding its client base across the more than 8,000 regional & community banks & credit unions.
