Coinbase Asset Management Launches Tokenized Credit Fund CUSHY with Onchain Access
NEW YORK — Coinbase Asset Management has launched CUSHY, a tokenized credit fund targeting yields from stablecoin lending and private credit markets, offering institutional investors tokenized share classes with 24/7 onchain utility across Ethereum, Solana, and Base.
The Coinbase Stablecoin Credit Strategy (CUSHY) bridges traditional credit markets and digital assets, capturing “unique yield premiums” from capital migrating onchain. Designed for qualified investors, it provides diversified exposure to public credit, private opportunistic debt, and structural alpha from tokenization and protocol incentives.
“CUSHY reflects the growing overlap between traditional credit and crypto infrastructure,” Coinbase said in a blog post. Tokenized shares, powered by Superstate’s FundOS platform, enable seamless onchain trading, liquidity, and DeFi integration—expanding access beyond conventional fund structures.
Diversified Strategy Meets Institutional Demand
CUSHY targets three pillars:
- Public Credit: Liquid instruments tied to the digital economy.
- Private & Opportunistic Credit: Asset-based lending for digital-native borrowers transitioning to blockchain rails.
- Structural Alpha: Blending credit with token rewards and onchain market positions.
The fund partners with top credit firms to onchain-ize lending, supported by Coinbase Prime for custody, Northern Trust for administration, and Superstate for tokenization. Superstate CEO Robert Leshner highlighted the multi-chain rollout: “This partnership expands across networks and into DeFi use cases.”
Available to U.S. and select foreign investors, CUSHY leverages Coinbase’s expertise in stablecoin markets—where lending volumes exceed traditional benchmarks amid $200+ billion in total supply.
Tokenization Unlocks New Capital Markets
By offering onchain shares, CUSHY exemplifies the tokenization trend reshaping asset management. Superstate’s FundOS provides a “turnkey” solution for funds, connecting TradFi to crypto rails for enhanced liquidity and capital formation.
This launch follows Coinbase’s broader push into institutional crypto products, including its Base Layer-2 chain and stablecoin integrations. As onchain credit grows, CUSHY positions Coinbase at the forefront of a market blending high yields (often 5-15% APY in stablecoin lending) with regulatory-compliant structures.
Industry observers see it as a signal of maturing infrastructure: “Tokenized funds like CUSHY lower barriers for institutions entering DeFi-adjacent strategies.” Coinbase did not disclose initial assets under management but emphasized CUSHY’s role in “today’s evolving market.”
