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.

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...

    Federal Budget, 101 The US federal budget outlines how the government plans to both raise revenue and spend it via its 3 million workers across more than 400 agencies in a given fiscal year.  The president submits   a detailed budget request to Congress. 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...
