Coinbase Asset Management launched Coinbase Stablecoin Credit Strategy, also called CUSHY, on April 30, 2026, as a digital credit strategy designed for qualified investors and institutions seeking tokenized exposure to stablecoin-linked credit markets.
The fund is structured to bring institutional credit closer to onchain capital markets by offering tokenized shares and blockchain-based fund infrastructure, while maintaining a clear institutional focus rather than a retail-facing product.
Coinbase Asset Management framed the launch with a direct statement: “Credit is moving onchain.” That statement positions CUSHY as part of a broader shift toward blockchain-based financial infrastructure, rather than a standalone investment product.
CUSHY Targets Onchain Lending and Private Credit
CUSHY is designed to generate yield from onchain lending and private credit. The strategy provides tokenized access through Superstate, whose FundOS infrastructure powers the tokenization of the fund’s shares.
The product operates across Base, Solana and Ethereum, giving it a multichain structure. Coinbase Prime, Superstate and Northern Trust support the fund’s institutional setup, combining crypto-native infrastructure with traditional financial services.
Coinbase Prime provides prime services, Northern Trust supports fund administration and Superstate delivers tokenization capabilities. This structure reflects an effort to align blockchain-based infrastructure with established institutional standards.
Coinbase Asset Management said: “To meet the evolving needs of these sophisticated investors, Coinbase Asset Management is proud to introduce CUSHY – a digital credit strategy, designed to bridge the gap between traditional credit markets and the growing digital asset ecosystem.”
Strategy Combines Credit Exposure With Tokenization
The strategy is built around three components: public credit tied to the digital economy, private and asset-based lending opportunities, and structural alpha generated through tokenization, protocol incentives, rewards and onchain market structures.
The public credit segment includes liquid credit instruments linked to the digital economy. The private and opportunistic segment includes asset-based lending for both digital and traditional borrowers. The structural alpha segment focuses on returns generated from blockchain-based mechanics such as tokenization and protocol incentives.
Coinbase Asset Management said the strategy is built with standards around underwriting, diversification, liquidity and credit quality review, reinforcing its positioning as an institutional-grade product.
Coinbase Asset Management added: “The digital economy is rapidly emerging onchain as the next frontier for credit. With CUSHY, Coinbase Asset Management provides the expertise and regulatory framework necessary to navigate it with confidence.”
Stablecoin Scale Underpins the Strategy
Coinbase said stablecoin transaction volume exceeded $33 trillion in 2025, while an average of 89 million addresses held stablecoins daily across major blockchains.
These figures underpin the rationale for launching a credit product on blockchain infrastructure, as stablecoins are presented as a large-scale financial layer capable of supporting institutional credit activity.
CUSHY provides eligible investors with transparency and 24/7 onchain utility through tokenized shares, extending tokenization beyond simpler financial products into structured credit strategies.
Coinbase Global, Inc. was referenced as trading at $185.45 per share at the time of one article’s publication.
