Stablecoins are a type of digital currency designed to maintain a steady value, often linked to traditional currencies like the dollar or euro. They function like digital cash that offers the convenience of online transactions while avoiding the large price swings common with other cryptocurrencies. This stability makes them useful for investors and users who want a reliable way to store and transfer value without exposure to sudden market changes.
tokenized depositsfinancial
Digital tokens that represent traditional bank deposits held at a regulated institution, recorded on a blockchain-like system so each token is a claim on the underlying cash. They matter to investors because they can speed up transfers, enable new trading and lending services, and increase transparency much like converting paper money into an instantly transferable digital voucher, while still carrying banking and regulatory risks tied to the issuer.
digital asset accountsfinancial
Digital asset accounts are online accounts that hold and manage electronic forms of value such as cryptocurrencies, tokens, or digital securities, similar to how a bank account holds cash. They matter to investors because they determine who controls access, how securely assets are stored, how easily assets can be traded or transferred, and what regulatory protections or risks apply — all of which affect value, liquidity, and safety.
digital asset-collateralized lendingfinancial
A type of loan where the borrower pledges digital assets—such as cryptocurrencies or tokenized securities—as collateral to secure borrowing. Like pawning a valuable item, the lender can sell the collateral if its value falls or the borrower defaults, which makes these loans sensitive to sharp price swings and platform rules. Investors pay attention because this affects liquidity, potential yields, and the risk that volatile collateral will be liquidated, impacting returns and market stability.
staking rewardsfinancial
Staking rewards are incentives given to individuals who commit their cryptocurrency holdings to support a blockchain network's operations, such as confirming transactions and maintaining security. Think of it like earning interest or dividends for locking up your savings or investments, encouraging people to keep their assets engaged in keeping the system running smoothly. For investors, staking rewards provide a way to earn passive income while helping to secure the network.
digital asset infrastructuretechnical
Digital asset infrastructure is the collection of systems and services that let people create, store, trade and record ownership of digital tokens or cryptocurrencies — think of it as the roads, locks and registration offices for online value. Investors care because the strength, security and rules of that underlying setup affect how easy, safe and legal it is to buy, sell or hold digital assets, which in turn influences risk, liquidity and value.
blockchain-based infrastructuretechnical
A blockchain-based infrastructure is a digital system that records transactions and data on a shared, tamper-resistant ledger distributed across many computers, so entries are visible and hard to change. For investors it matters because this setup can lower middleman costs, increase transparency and trust, and enable new business models or faster settlement—while also introducing risks like technical limits, energy use, and evolving regulation.
on and off rampstechnical
Channels or mechanisms that let money, assets or users move into and out of a platform, market or product — often used for converting between traditional cash and digital assets but also for onboarding or offboarding customers and capital. Investors care because the quality, cost and speed of these ramps affect adoption, liquidity and revenue; like a highway entrance and exit, good ramps make growth and cash flow smooth while poor ones create bottlenecks and risk.

Integration enables financial institutions to deliver stablecoins, digital asset accounts, and tokenized deposits within regulated banking environments
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Q2 Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: QTWO), a leading provider of digital transformation solutions for financial services, today announced its partnership with Stablecore, a digital asset platform that enables banks and credit unions to offer stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and other digital asset products. The collaboration provides financial institutions with a streamlined path to implement emerging digital asset capabilities through a single, trusted integration. Amarillo National Bank and Bank of Utah are among the early institutions engaging with Stablecore through Q2.
As stablecoin adoption accelerates and regulatory clarity improves, banks and credit unions are increasingly evaluating how digital asset infrastructure may fit within regulated banking environments. Most institutions now face an infrastructure hurdle as numerous, complex pieces are required to support digital asset offerings compliantly and at-scale.
Through Stablecore’s integration with the Q2 Innovation Studio, which reduces the cost, complexity, and time associated with fintech integrations by pre-integrating innovative solutions into the Q2 Digital Banking Platform, banks and credit unions can now responsibly explore and integrate digital asset capabilities within their existing digital banking environments.
“Stablecoins and digital assets are moving from theoretical conversations to practical evaluation within mainstream banking,” said Anthony Ianniciello, VP of Product Management, Q2. “Our role is to help banks and credit unions introduce these capabilities thoughtfully and responsibly. By partnering with Stablecore, we are enabling financial institutions to assess how digital asset infrastructure can support their long-term strategy and ultimately deliver those capabilities to their account holders.”
Through the partnership with Stablecore, financial institutions using the Q2 Digital Banking Platform can implement targeted workflows to support use cases such as stablecoin payments and acceptance, digital asset accounts with on and off ramps, digital asset-collateralized lending, tokenized deposits, staking rewards, and other digital asset innovations across both retail and commercial digital experiences. By delivering these capabilities through trusted integrations, Q2 helps financial institutions participate thoughtfully in emerging technologies and avoid the burden of building and maintaining digital asset infrastructure independently.
“The growth of stablecoins, digital assets and blockchain-based infrastructure is reshaping the role that banks and credit unions play in the broader financial ecosystem,” said Alex Treece, CEO and co-founder of Stablecore. “Our partnership with Q2 brings compliant digital asset infrastructure into a platform that hundreds of institutions already trust, making it significantly easier to implement stablecoin and digital asset products.”
The integration is part of Q2 Innovation Studio, a suite of tools and programs that empower banks, credit unions, and fintech partners to build, extend, and innovate in the Q2 Digital Banking Platform.
“At Bank of Utah, we believe innovation matters most when it truly serves our clients,” said Bank of Utah President Branden P. Hansen. “For over 70 years, we have provided the stable, trusted environment our clients count on to meet their financial needs. Our partnership with Q2 and Stablecore allows us to explore meaningful digital asset use cases while we continue building new solutions that help unlock our clients’ potential.”
As competition intensifies from fintechs, large national banks, and crypto-native firms, stablecoin and tokenized deposit capabilities present financial institutions with an opportunity to extend 24/7 settlement models, support evolving treasury needs, and strengthen deposit relationships while maintaining regulatory oversight.
Stablecore represents the latest addition to Q2 Innovation Studio’s fintech partner ecosystem, reinforcing Q2’s commitment to equipping banks and credit unions with flexible pathways to evaluate emerging technologies as market demand and regulatory clarity continue to develop.
