Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • COIN Asset Management launched CUSHY, a tokenized stablecoin credit strategy fund.
  • CUSHY offers tokenized shares with on-chain transparency, running on Superstate's FundOS.
  • Coinbase cites $33T stablecoin volume in 2025 as it pushes to be an "everything exchange."

Coinbase Global's (COIN - Free Report) Asset Management announced the launch of a tokenized credit fund - Coinbase Stablecoin Credit Strategy. Coinbase launched CUSHY – a digital credit strategy –  designed to bridge the gap between traditional credit markets and the growing digital asset ecosystem.

This strategic step seems time-opportune. COIN is set to capitalize on the scale of on-chain liquidity. Stablecoin transaction volumes surpassed $33 trillion in 2025, signaling that blockchain rails are becoming a primary financial settlement layer. As credit markets gradually migrate on-chain, CUSHY aims to capture yield premiums generated by this transition.

CUSHY lets investors buy tokenized shares with transparency and on-chain use. The service runs on FundOS, Superstate’s new turnkey platform for asset managers to tokenize funds. By linking traditional financial assets with crypto capital markets, Superstate broadens access, enhances liquidity and supports capital formation via on-chain listings and tokenized products.

This move also points to Coinbase addressing a clear institutional gap. It has always focused on bringing crypto and traditional banking closer.
These developments align with Coinbase’s broader ambition to become the industry’s premier “everything exchange.” Through a combination of new product launches, market expansion and both organic and inorganic growth initiatives, the company continues to accelerate trading activity and diversify revenue streams, further solidifying its role as a comprehensive global trading platform.
