Stablecore provides the infrastructure banks and\ncredit unions use to offer stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and other digital\nasset services inside their existing systems. The partnership brings digital\nasset transaction activity from Stablecore directly into the Nasdaq Verafin\nplatform, giving banks and credit unions a consolidated view of financial\ncrime risk exposure as they expand into digital asset services. With a more\ncomplete view of financial crime risk exposure, this partnership helps\nfinancial institutions meet customer demand for digital asset offerings while\naddressing evolving compliance requirements.\n\nFinancial institutions have historically had limited visibility into on-chain\nfinancial activity, leaving a gap when financial crime spans fiat and digital\nasset channels. The partnership will help address this gap by integrating\nfiat-to-digital asset and digital asset-to-fiat transaction flows from\nStablecore with existing customer data and compliance infrastructure in Nasdaq\nVerafin’s comprehensive anti-financial crime platform. Through this\npartnership, Stablecore houses digital asset holdings and transaction\ninformation without storing personally identifiable information, while the\nbank's core banking system retains customer and account data. Data from both\nsources flows into Nasdaq Verafin, where it is consolidated into a single\ncustomer profile for investigation and risk assessment.\n\n“Criminals increasingly move between on-chain and off-chain channels to\nobscure their activity and avoid detection,” said Rob Norris, SVP, Head of\nProduct Strategy, Nasdaq Verafin. “By integrating Stablecore’s digital\nasset infrastructure with Nasdaq Verafin’s holistic financial crime\nmanagement technology platform, we are giving financial institutions\nvisibility into the full scope of their customers’ transactions, so that\ncriminals cannot hide no matter where they move money.”\n\nThe partnership comes as adoption of stablecoins, tokenized deposits and\ndigital assets continues to grow among consumers and businesses. Today's\nglobal digital asset market represents approximately $2.4 trillion in value\n(https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=CUONVMYInHsidbKwG0bceY0Qj6_v0zFOCce6v1Ev1jprq5WCqv6oHQP_Egz4Oq6iXGQ3jA3x8fhSHkGf1TfUy0kky_hrisfWmZ2Y0t-Ronbd0PjRE6TlNBQN5SStqSuxhXngAUSXz0vzX3R1NFSuuw==),\nmore than double the range recorded in late 2022 to early 2023. By integrating\nstablecoin, tokenized deposit and digital asset transaction data from\nStablecore into the Nasdaq Verafin platform, financial institutions can\nconduct investigations faster and monitor the flow of money on- and off-chain.\n\n“Digital assets become viable within banking when financial institutions can\nhave the same very high standards around compliance and fraud detection as\ntheir existing products,” said Alex Treece, Co-founder and CEO, Stablecore.\n“Through this partnership, Stablecore provides the infrastructure for secure\ndigital asset services while Nasdaq Verafin ensures that activity is monitored\nwith the same rigor as traditional payments – a significant evolution in\nmaking digital assets a safe and secure option for banks, credit unions and\ntheir customers.”\n\nThe integration is currently in beta with select customers, including Amarillo\nNational Bank, with plans to roll out to mutual customers of Nasdaq Verafin\nand Stablecore in Q4 2026 and Q1 2027. Following the initial integration,\nNasdaq Verafin and Stablecore will partner to offer real-time sanctions\nscreening for counterparties receiving digital asset transfers. This\ncapability will integrate directly into Nasdaq Verafin’s existing sanctions\nscreening program, allowing financial institutions to build a robust BSA/AML\ncompliance program that protects against digital assets sanctions risks.\n\n“Our customers want access to emerging payment methods, and we need to meet\nthat demand without compromising safety,” said William Ware, President,\nAmarillo National Bank. “This partnership ensures our team maintains full\nvisibility across traditional and digital assets activity, while allowing our\nteam to seamlessly incorporate on-chain data into our investigations.”\n\nTo learn more about the partnership, please visit\nhttps://verafin.com/partnerships/.\n\nAbout Nasdaq Verafin \n\nNasdaq Verafin provides Financial Crime Management Technology solutions for\nFraud Detection and Management, AML/CFT Compliance and Management, High Risk\nCustomer Management, Sanctions Screening and Management, and Information\nSharing.
