SAN FRANCISCO Metallicus, a leader in blockchain technology for financial institutions and developer of Metal Blockchain, said it is partnering with DaLand CUSO to respond to the “future of money” through what the companies said is a seamless integration of stablecoins, Bitcoin, and digital asset services.
According to the companies, the partnership combines Metallicus’ purpose-built blockchain infrastructure with DaLand’s Coin2Core TradFi/DeFi bridge, “enabling financial institutions to securely service digital asset wealth directly from their existing core banking systems-supporting stablecoin issuance, self-custodied digital assets, and real-time settlement workflows.”
“Stablecoins are the foundation of modern financial infrastructure-bringing speed, programmability, and transparency to institutions of all sizes,” Metallicus CEO Marshall Hayner said in a statement. “Through our partnership with DaLand, we’re enabling credit unions and community banks to issue institution-branded stablecoins and launch compliant blockchain solutions that keep them competitive.”
Retaining Full Control
Metallicus said it enables deployment on Metal Blockchain with native support for KYC/AML, BSA compliance, ISO 20022 messaging, and digital identity frameworks, ensuring financial institutions retain full control while remaining interoperable.
“Our Coin2Core bridge and DaLand CODE Engine-a ready-made solution to keep credit unions plugged into the future of money-ensures local institutions remain custodians of community wealth in all forms,” DaLand CUSO CIO Jon Ungerland said in a statement. “This core-centric approach positions community FIs as the epicenter of wealth in a world of digital currency and streaming money.”
What Fis Can Do
The two organizations said the partnership will allow credit unions to:
- Issue institution-branded, regulated stablecoins for real-time payments
- Custody and service digital assets like BTC, ETH, XRP, USDC, as well as native assets from the Metallicus platform including METAL, XPR, XMD, LOAN, and MTL-directly from core operations.
- Process blockchain transactions within existing banking infrastructure
- Launch new lending and payment products backed by tokenized assets
