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. In some ways this makes sense; many Americans who feel excluded from the traditional financial system are drawn to cryptocurrency, mirroring the relationship many members have with their credit union. While there are plenty of enthusiasts, cryptocurrency also has its detractors. Many dismiss crypto ownership as speculative, and cryptocurrency as nothing more than an overly risky, volatile asset. Public failures of companies like FTX have only made the critics louder. A  recent study from the Pew Research Center  found 63% of r...

Before You Push Send!

  The Art of Thoughtful Discourse in a Noisy World In an era where opinions flood every corner of social media, news platforms, and casual conversations, the sheer volume of voices can be both inspiring and overwhelming.

When we articulate our thoughts without backing them up, we risk contributing to the noise rather than enhancing the dialogue. To make meaningful contributions, it’s essential to prioritize reasoning over reflexivity. Taking the time to gathe...

Sunday Reading: Federal Budget, 101

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. On top of paying back the base cost of the property, also called the “principal,” the borrower pays monthly interest to the lender.  Most buyers also pay a down payme...
