​Today’s crypto news to know

Coinbase to bring stablecoin payments to community banks

Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) announced its partnership with payments infrastructure provider Moov to deliver stablecoin acceptance, settlement, and real-time funding to over 1,000 community banks and credit unions.

The integration embeds Coinbase’s stablecoin technology directly into Moov’s existing payments platform, saving financial institutions from building separate crypto technology stacks. The combined infrastructure supports consumer stablecoin payments, merchant acceptance, merchant settlement, and payouts using Coinbase’s regulated custodial accounts and Payments API.

Moov CEO Wade Arnold noted that business customers are already asking for stablecoin acceptance capabilities, and this integration ensures their primary financial institution can fulfill that demand.

“Merchants need acceptance and disbursement now. What comes next is bigger: funding that doesn’t stop for weekends or holidays, because the rail doesn’t close. Institutions that add this now will be positioned for both,” Arnold added in the joint company announcement.

Coinbase Vice Chair Ryan VanGrack emphasized that the partnership provides local banks the tools to compete with large players while preserving the customer relationships they have spent decades building.

India to tokenize corporate bond market on digital rupee ledger

The Securities and Exchange Board of India launched a pilot program dubbed “Demat 2.0” to issue and settle corporate bonds as blockchain tokens on a private ledger.

Three companies have already utilized the framework to raise a combined US$107 million in tokenized corporate debt. State-owned lender REC initiated the pilot by raising 500 crore rupees, followed immediately by Larsen & Toubro and non-bank lender IIFL Finance.

The system links the tokenized bond ledger directly to the Reserve Bank of India’s wholesale digital rupee through a Unified Market Interface to execute atomic settlement. Atomic settlement allows bonds and payments to change hands simultaneously, delivering proceeds to issuers on the day of bidding while using smart contracts to automate interest payouts.

Regulators confirmed that tokenized bonds retain their exact legal status, credit ratings, and investor protections without fragmenting the US$620 billion corporate bond market.

Canada clarifies legal coverage on tokenized bank deposits

Canada’s Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions clarified that tokenized bank deposits are legally equivalent to traditional bank deposits under existing regulations.

“The underlying technology of a financial product or service does not determine its legal nature. To be clear, we focus on what the product or service is, not how it is built or delivered. Tokenized deposits are, for example, not legally distinct from traditional deposits,” the OSFI clarified in a statement.

The federal banking regulator confirmed it will take a technology-neutral approach, meaning the use of blockchain infrastructure does not create a new legal category of financial products.

Federally regulated banks can now develop tokenized deposits within the existing banking framework rather than waiting for a specialized crypto rulebook. The regulatory clarification distinguishes tokenized bank deposits, which represent a direct claim on a regulated financial institution, from non-bank stablecoins.

While the guidance removes significant legal ambiguity, OSFI stressed that banks remain fully subject to existing capital, cybersecurity, technology, and supervisory requirements when deploying blockchain products.
