Fact Check
All key elements of the claim are confirmed by multiple independent sources. CoinDesk (the primary authoritative source) explicitly reports that Coinbase Asset Management launched CUSHY (Coinbase Stablecoin Credit Strategy) on April 30, 2026, targeting institutional investors with yield from stablecoin-related on-chain lending and private credit, and offering tokenized shares via Superstate's FundOS across Ethereum, Solana, and Base. This is corroborated by multiple X posts from the same date and secondary news outlets including Intellectia.AI and Coinness. No conflicting evidence was found. The only minor nuance is that the claim uses the phrase 'stablecoin-related on-chain lending' while sources describe it as 'stablecoin lending and private credit' — which is consistent with the claim's description.
