Liquidity Resources

Liquidity Resources Liquidity is a credit union’s capacity to meet its cash and collateral obligations at a reasonable cost. Adequate liquidity is necessary to efficiently meet both expected and unexpected cash flows and collateral needs without compromising the credit union’s daily operations or financial condition. Effective credit union management identifies, measures, monitors, and controls exposure to liquidity risk. Primary Risks In managing expected cash flows, a credit union may experience situations that increase its liquidity risk. These situations include mismatches between sources and uses of funds, market constraints on the ability to convert assets into cash or to access sources of funds (market liquidity), and contingent liquidity events. Changes in economic conditions or exposure to credit, market, operational, legal, and also can affect an institution’s liquidity risk profile. None of these risks are mutually exclusive, and interrelated risks may contribute to increase...

Not Your Mother’s Credit Union

“Stablecoins aren’t a speculative play. They’re the next evolution of payments — and a chance for credit unions to lead, not lag. It starts with connecting members to DLT rails - the digital wallet. Without that, nothing else can happen. It’s just a new payment rail - embrace it or lose the relationship. It’s that simple.” While ‘ stablecoins ’ were the prevailing buzzword across Money20/20 this year, the credit union industry had a significant presence. Small financial institutions have staked a place in the future of payments. Credit unions  received a significant boost this summer with the enactment of the stablecoin bill into law. The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act authorizes subsidiaries of federally insured credit unions, such as credit union service organizations, to become issuers.

Interest-bearing stablecoins could siphon deposits from community banks and credit unions

  WASHINGTON — Warning that interest-bearing stablecoins could siphon deposits from community banks and other traditional financial institutions, the American Bankers Association joined 52 state bankers associations from across the country in submitting a   letter   to the U.S. Department of the Treasury urging strong implementation of the GENIUS Act’s prohibition on interest for payment stablecoins. The letter, which responds to Treasury’s advance notice of proposed rulemaking regarding implementation of the GENIUS Act, emphasizes the need to preserve the law’s core intent: ensuring stablecoins serve as payment tools, not investment vehicles. iStock-Gri-spb “The GENIUS Act’s prohibition on a payment stablecoin issuer paying interest or yield on payment stablecoins reflects Congress’s intent for payment stablecoins to be used for transactions and not as investment vehicles,” the associations wrote. “Treasury must reinforce this intent.” The associations warn that wit...

How to Prepare for a Recession

  By Ray Birch IRVINE, Calif.—There’s little chance the Federal Reserve will steer the U.S. away from a recession in the next 12-18 months, says one economist, who adds delinquencies among the nation’s lenders could become an issue in the near future. Elliot Eisenberg, chief economist for economic consultancy GraphsandLaughs, said during a recent Origence webcast he does not think the recession will be deep. But he also urged credit unions to revisit loan loss reserves built during the pandemic and to shore those up again. What the growth of inflation will come down to, explained Eisenberg, is whether the Federal Reserve, as it adjusts rates upward to curb inflation, will be able to engineer a “soft landing” for the econo...

Fed Governor Warns ‘Global Stablecoin Glut’ Could Reshape Monetary Policy

  NEW YORK—Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran believes the rapid rise of stablecoins could become a major force shaping U.S. monetary policy. Once seen as a niche digital tool for crypto traders, stablecoins have evolved into a global conduit for dollar-denominated transactions, enabling users worldwide to store value and move capital more efficiently. Their growing prominence, Miran noted during his speech at the BCVC Summit 2025 at the Harvard Club, reflects continued demand for dollars—and with the GENIUS Act now providing a clear regulatory framework for U.S.-issued stablecoins, the sector is poised for broader adoption across payment systems. Stephen Miran Stablecoins’ link to the U.S. dollar is reinforcing the currency’s global dominance while simultaneously creating new implications for monetary policy. Miran argued that stablecoins are already increasing demand for U.S. Treasury bills and other dollar-based assets, especially from investors outside the United States. Th...
