The partnership seeks to bridge stablecoin lending, tokenization, and private credit markets. It aims to unlock new high-quality credit opportunities within the rapidly growing stablecoin ecosystem.
As of October 2025, stablecoins have reached a $300 billion market capitalization, with projections to grow to $3 trillion by 2030, fueled in part by regulatory clarity under initiatives like the GENIUS Act. This round-the-clock, blockchain-based market offers unique investment opportunities not found in traditional credit portfolios. This creates a fertile ground for innovation in digital finance.
New Coinbase-Apollo Partnership Expands Stablecoin Credit Access
Anthony Bassili, President of Coinbase Asset Management, highlighted the potential, noting that stablecoins’ global accessibility and 24/7 operations could transform how private credit strategies are executed.
By partnering with Apollo, CBAM combines its digital-asset expertise with Apollo’s deep credit underwriting. Also, origination and tokenization experience to create structured, compliant investment products designed to appeal to professional investors seeking exposure to this new frontier. The partnership will explore three core strategies:
- Over-collateralized asset lending allows loans against digital collateral, such as Bitcoin or tokenized investment products, reducing risk while offering yield opportunities.
- Corporate direct lending will target both traditional and digitally native borrowers, including stablecoin issuers, neobanks, and fintechs, backed by digital collateral to ensure safety and transparency.
- Tokenized credit holdings will allow investors to access Apollo-managed credit strategies in a fully digital, tokenized format, opening up novel, natively blockchain-based investment opportunities. All strategies aim to maintain GENIUS-compliant standards, with monthly audits and 1:1 reserves to safeguard investor confidence.
