Coinbase Asset Management launched a tokenized credit fund on Wednesday, putting institutional-grade credit products onchain across Base, Solana, and Ethereum.

The fund is called the Coinbase Stablecoin Credit Strategy, or CUSHY. It targets qualified investors and institutions through tokenized fund shares running on Superstate’s FundOS infrastructure, with Northern Trust handling fund administration and Coinbase Prime providing prime services.

Coinbase framed the launch around the sheer scale of stablecoin adoption. The company cited $33 trillion in stablecoin transaction volume during 2025 and an average of 89 million addresses holding stablecoins daily across major blockchains.

The fund is structured around three credit pillars. The first is public credit, liquid and transparent positions. The second is private and opportunistic credit, including asset-backed lending and senior debt tied to the digital transition. The third is what Coinbase calls structural alpha, blending traditional credit with tokenization mechanics, protocol incentives, rewards programs, and bespoke onchain market structure.

Coinbase Asset Management laid out the full architecture in its announcement:

Coinbase Asset Management announced CUSHY as a tokenized credit fund designed to connect traditional credit markets with the digital asset ecosystem. Coinbase tied the launch to stablecoin transaction volume above $33 trillion in 2025 and an average of 89 million daily stablecoin holder addresses across major blockchains. The product is aimed at qualified investors and institutions. The strategy targets diversified yield through public credit, private and opportunistic credit, and structural alpha that blends credit exposure with tokenization, protocol incentives, rewards, and bespoke onchain market structure. Tokenized shares offer transparency and 24/7 onchain utility through Superstate FundOS. Coinbase listed Coinbase Prime as the prime services provider, Superstate as the tokenization services provider, Northern Trust as fund administrator, and Base, Solana, and Ethereum as the supported blockchain networks. Coinbase Asset Management operates as a wholly owned Coinbase subsidiary and is an SEC-registered investment adviser, commodity pool operator, and commodity trading adviser.

The multi-chain approach is worth watching. Superstate confirmed that FundOS already supports tokenized shares on Solana and Ethereum, with Base support coming soon. CUSHY will launch on Base, giving Coinbase’s own Layer 2 a high-profile institutional product anchored to real credit markets.

Solana’s official account highlighted the launch as well, pointing to the public credit, private credit, and structural alpha coverage running through Superstate FundOS and administered by Northern Trust.

The product is restricted to qualified investors and institutions. Coinbase made no indication CUSHY would be available to retail participants.

This is Coinbase building settlement infrastructure that treats stablecoins as plumbing for institutional credit, with real fund administrators and SEC-registered entities behind it. The $33 trillion in 2025 stablecoin volume gave Coinbase a foundation to pitch the idea. Now it has a product designed to capture yield from that flow. Whether CUSHY attracts meaningful institutional capital will depend on execution, but the architecture is live and the rails are multi-chain from day one.
