TL;DR
- Stablecore integrates with Jack Henry, reaching 1,600 US banks.
- Institutions can offer stablecoin accounts and 24/7 payments.
- Community banks now compete with giants like Citigroup and Fidelity.
Digital asset infrastructure continues its advance into traditional finance. Stablecore announced its incorporation into the Jack Henry Fintech Integration Network, a move that will allow more than 1,600 banks and credit unions in the United States to offer stablecoin and tokenized asset services directly from their existing platforms.
Jack Henry is a major provider of core banking technology in the country. Its systems process operations for approximately 1,670 financial institutions. A portion of these entities use the Banno platform for their digital banking services, a client base that will now have access to blockchain-based products without migrating to external systems.
They will also have the option to incorporate on- and off-ramps for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, digital asset-backed lending, tokenized deposits, and staking features where regulations permit.
The decision to embed these services within existing banking applications responds to a shift in demand. Institutional clients seek on-chain cash management tools that comply with regulatory frameworks. By avoiding standalone wallets or unregulated external platforms, banks can offer a unified experience and reduce operational friction.
Stablecore is part of a growing group of companies building the underlying technology for stablecoin adoption. The firm raised $20 million last year with the goal of helping regional banks and credit unions implement these services. The strategy gained relevance after the passage of the GENIUS Act in the United States, which established a federal framework for payment stablecoins.
The move by Jack Henry and Stablecore does not happen in isolation
Last week, payments operations provider Modern Treasury launched a service that supports stablecoin transactions alongside wire and ACH transfers, in partnership with the Paxos network. At the same time, asset manager Fidelity Investments introduced Digital Dollar, an institutional stablecoin scheduled to go live this month designed to accelerate international settlements.
Large banks like Citigroup are also evaluating native stablecoin issuance to modernize cross-border payments. The infrastructure that Stablecore provides through the Jack Henry network places hundreds of community banks in a position to compete with these initiatives, using distributed ledger technology without abandoning their core systems.
