What Should Credit Unions Know About Stablecoins?

  Congress is considering new legislation around cryptocurrency, and these new tools could have profound implications for the industry. Andrew Lepczyk Creditunions.com Cryptocurrency is seemingly everywhere in 2025, including member’s  virtual “wallets .” A  2022 study from CUNA  – now known as America’s Credit Unions – found cryptocurrency ownership among credit union members stood at 39%, as opposed to 17% of the general population.

To make meaningful contributions, it’s essential to prioritize reasoning over reflexivity. Taking the time to gathe...

Congress then reviews this proposal   and develops its own budget resolutions through 12 appropriations bills. If there's an impasse, "continuing resolutions"   can be temporarily used to maintain funding while bills are debated.  Federal spending is divided into two main categories:  mandatory and discretionary . Mandatory includes expenses required by existing law (like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid). Discretionary spending includes funds for programs subject ...

Mastering Mortgages - A little History for the Day

  Mastering Mortgages     Background Mortgages  are a type of property loan that financial institutions, such as banks and credit unions, can offer when a prospective buyer decides against paying a property’s full cost in cash.  The lender provides funds to the borrower to purchase the property, and the borrower pays them back over a fixed time period, typically between 10 and 30 years.
