Clients of Regional Banks in Tennessee to Gain Access to Digital Assets

Banks in the U.S. state of Tennessee will be able to offer clients a wide range of products using digital assets without the need to upgrade their existing financial infrastructure.

The Tennessee Bankers Association (TBA), which unites 175 financial institutions, officially endorsed the Stablecore platform as a preferred technology provider for working with digital assets and stablecoins.

The Stablecore platform enables banks to introduce digital services without large-scale modernization of their existing IT systems. Available products include digital asset accounts, international settlements in stablecoins, lending products, and the issuance of tokenized financial instruments, including bonds, loans, and securities.

The partnership will allow regional and community banks across the state to implement digital asset-based services within their existing banking infrastructure. This includes support for stablecoins, tokenized deposits, cryptocurrency accounts, and lending secured by digital assets.

As part of the collaboration, TBA member banks will be able to offer clients instant payments 24/7/365 using stablecoins, as well as the ability to buy and sell digital assets directly through existing banking applications. The Stablecore platform also provides the option to launch yield programs based on crypto staking, including ETH and SOL.

Colin Barrett, President and CEO of the Tennessee Bankers Association, stated that integrating digital assets into the traditional banking environment will help financial institutions meet evolving customer demands and remain competitive. According to him, users will gain access to modern financial tools within the trusted infrastructure of local banks.

Alex Treece, CEO and Co-Founder of Stablecore, called the agreement a confirmation of strong demand for regulated digital asset solutions among traditional banks. He emphasized that launching such services is becoming an important step for financial institutions to retain customers and expand their business.

According to Wade Peery, a veteran of Tennessee’s banking sector, the shift toward digital assets will be one of the biggest changes in the industry in recent years. He noted that this partnership with Stablecore will allow local banks to adopt new financial technologies without abandoning their familiar infrastructure and to stay focused on customer service.

Germany’s largest banks announced plans to provide clients with access to cryptocurrencies in 2026. At the same time, a quarter of investors in Germany, France, Italy, and Spain are already investing in crypto-assets, and more than a third of them are considering switching banks to gain better access to digital asset services.
