GLASTONBURY, Conn.–DaLand CUSO is reporting it has created a new live gateway that plugs credit unions directly into $4 trillion of real value through its new Coin2Core Digital Vaulting and Coin2Core Orbit solution.
It said the gateway provides credit unions with an “effective way to connect their traditional banking services with the rapidly growing digital assets market.
“It’s a production-ready bridge between credit union cores and high-volume digital money networks – including real-time blockchain settlement and institution-branded stablecoins – that keeps deposits locked on credit union balance sheets where they belong,” it said.
‘We Built the Damn Thing’
“While Big Tech and payment processors are still pitching PowerPoints about what they might build someday, we built the damn thing,” CIO Jon Ungerland said in a statement. “Credit unions can now vault Bitcoin, issue branded stablecoins, and process blockchain settlements – without surrendering their data, their deposits, or their souls to some Silicon Valley middleman.”
DaLand said the new solution “isn’t theoretical,” stating the Coin2Core technology provides credit unions with a “cost-effective, operationally frictionless methods to ‘get off zero’ when it comes to digital assets.”
Leveraging the solution, DaLand said credit unions can now:
- Stop the deposit hemorrhage to Coinbase and other centralized exchanges
- Retain members who were quietly moving wealth to purely digital platforms
- Service wealth in non-dollar currencies while traditional banks fumble with regulatory uncertainty
- Replace dwindling interchange revenues with digital asset transaction fees
- Support digital asset-backed lending integrated directly into their core systems
- Incorporate member Bitcoin holdings into relationship pricing and overdraft funding
Strategic Partnership Cited
DaLand said its Coin2Core Digital Vaulting and Coin2Core Orbit offerings utilize Corelation, Inc’s KeyStone core processing system as a part of its technology stack.
“Our strategic partnership with Corelation to use the KeyStone core as an integral component of our industry gateway to digital assets, will help DaLand CUSO ensure that no credit union is unplugged from the future of money – even those on core processors asleep at the wheel when it comes to navigating the road beyond the electronic dollar,” Ungerland said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to partner with a hyper-modern core to help keep an entire industry plugged into the future of money through our TradFi/DeFi bridge and our Coin2Core gateway which brings modern member wealth into the core of your legacy financial operations.”
Additional Partnership
In addition, DaLand said the partnership builds on its integration with Metallicus, which enables compliant stablecoin issuance tied directly to credit union brands.
“Combined with Corelation’s flexible core architecture, the result is a live, no-workaround gateway to modern payments infrastructure that makes traditional correspondent banking look like dial-up internet,” DaLand stated.
“Our clients see KeyStone not only as a core system, but as a platform to facilitate innovative solutions for a changing industry,” Corelation CEO Rob Landis said in a statement. “DaLand has delivered just that – a game-changing advancement that lets credit unions vault into the digital asset era, and all without the typical headaches of bolt-on fintech band-aids. Coin2Core is a straightforward, seamlessly-integrated solution built to reach those members who have already evolved beyond traditional banking.”
The $4 Trillion Reality Check
DaLand added that “unlike legacy payment providers still treating Bitcoin like a science experiment,” it recognizes that digital assets represent the “fastest-growing store of value in human history. Most financial institutions are locked out not because their members aren’t interested, but because their vendors are paralyzed by regulatory uncertainty and technical complexity.”
The company said it has taken a different approach after spending 15 years building core-centric solutions, and understands that “true innovation means strengthening – not bypassing – the relationship between financial institutions and their communities.”
Phased Gateway Implementation
DaLand said its strategic roadmap delivers immediate value through four phases:
- Vaulting (6-9 months): Digital asset data integrated on core, providing secure storage for community members
- Deposits (+6 months): Treatment as money/currency/assets for balance sheet optimization
- Transactions (+6 months): Process payments via digital assets for P2P, P2B, and local merchant networks
- Exchange (+12 months): Provide exchange services locally and securely for consumers and commercial entities
“The future of money isn’t coming – it’s here, growing at $4 trillion and accelerating,” Ungerland said in a statement. “This solution ensures the institutions that matter most to American communities don’t miss the transition.”
