Q2 Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: QTWO) announced a partnership with Stablecore, a digital‑asset platform that enables banks and credit unions to offer stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and other digital‑asset products. The collaboration gives financial institutions a single, trusted integration that streamlines the deployment of emerging digital‑asset capabilities.
Stablecore, founded in 2025 and backed by $20 million in funding from investors such as Norwest, BankTech Ventures, Curql, EJF Ventures, and Bankers Helping Bankers Fund, provides core infrastructure for digital assets. Early adopters of the joint solution include Amarillo National Bank and Bank of Utah, which are using the platform to explore stablecoin and tokenized deposit use cases while continuing to build new solutions for their clients.
Q2’s digital‑banking platform, built on its Innovation Studio ecosystem, is designed to be a best‑of‑breed digital layer for banks of all sizes. The company’s subscription‑based revenue mix has grown steadily, with full‑year 2025 revenue at $794.8 million, up 14% year‑over‑year, and subscription annual recurring revenue at $780.1 million, also up 14%. Q1 2026 guidance projects total revenue of $212.5 million to $216.5 million, representing 12–14% year‑over‑year growth, while full‑year 2026 guidance is $871 million to $878 million, a 10% year‑over‑year increase.
"The growth of stablecoins, digital assets and blockchain‑based infrastructure is reshaping the role that banks and credit unions play in the broader financial ecosystem," said Alex Treece, CEO and co‑founder of Stablecore. "Our partnership with Q2 brings compliant digital asset infrastructure into a platform that hundreds of institutions already trust, making it significantly easier to implement stablecoin and digital asset products." "Stablecoins and digital assets are moving from theoretical conversations to practical evaluation within mainstream banking," said Anthony Ianniciello, VP of Product Management at Q2. "Our role is to help banks and credit unions introduce these capabilities thoughtfully and responsibly. By partnering with Stablecore, we are enabling financial institutions to assess how digital asset infrastructure can support their long‑term strategy and ultimately deliver those capabilities to their account holders." "At Bank of Utah, we believe innovation matters most when it truly serves our clients," said Bank of Utah President Branden P. Hansen. "For over 70 years, we have provided the stable, trusted environment our clients count on to meet their financial needs. Our partnership with Q2 and Stablecore allows us to explore meaningful digital asset use cases while we continue building new solutions that help unlock our clients' potential."
The partnership positions Q2 to capture a share of the expanding digital‑asset market, where banks and credit unions are increasingly seeking compliant, scalable solutions. By integrating Stablecore’s technology, Q2 can offer its customers a broader suite of products that attract and retain deposits in a competitive environment, reinforcing its platform moat and supporting its subscription‑based revenue strategy. The collaboration is not an acquisition but a new channel for revenue growth, aligning with Q2’s goal of deepening customer engagement and expanding its ecosystem of fintech partners.
The announcement underscores Q2’s commitment to delivering innovative, technology‑driven banking solutions. As the digital‑asset space matures, the partnership is expected to accelerate the adoption of stablecoins and tokenized deposits among Q2’s institutional clients, potentially translating into incremental subscription revenue and enhanced customer retention. The move also signals Q2’s readiness to support banks and credit unions as they navigate the evolving regulatory and technological landscape of digital assets.
