What this category is really about

The category name says a lot about where the market is heading. Stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and tokenized assets are moving deeper into mainstream financial infrastructure. The focus now is on ensuring that on-chain value is operable, auditable, and secure for treasury teams to manage day-to-day, with the same governance, permissions, and reporting an institution expects from any core financial system.

That is a high bar. It rewards infrastructure that is compliant by design, works across chains and issuers, and gives institutions genuine control over their assets rather than asking them to hand it over.

Meet the finalists

Alphapoint Treasury is shortlisted alongside a strong field:

• Alphapoint Treasury
• Coinbase Business
• Kinexys by J.P. Morgan
• Sphere Labs
• Stablecore
• UR Technology

It's a mix of the biggest names in the industry and focused specialists, which is precisely what makes the recognition meaningful. Being named next to some of the most established players in digital assets validates what we've believed from the start: institutions need serious, purpose-built infrastructure to manage stablecoins at scale, and that need has gone mainstream.

Why Alphapoint Treasury fits the category

Alphapoint Treasury is a SaaS treasury platform designed specifically for institutions, banks, financial institutions, and large fintechs that need to manage stablecoins across multiple chains and multiple issuers from one place.

In practice, that means:

• Centralized treasury workflows for stablecoin inflows and outflows across chains and issuers.
• Policy-driven institutional controls: role-based permissions, multi-user approvals, and configurable rules such as automatic conversion of incoming stablecoins to fiat where a bank needs funds to stay in fiat accounts.
• Compliance and risk tooling built in: KYB and sanctions screening in onboarding and beneficiary management, address screening and chain analysis, and KYT pattern monitoring designed to support client compliance teams.
• MPC-based, non-custodial wallet architecture, so clients retain ownership and control of their stablecoins, wallets, and treasury rails.
• Mint and burn connectivity via APG, designed around integrations with major issuers including USDT, USDC, USDG, and PYUSD, where available.
• Two operating modes: software-only mode, where clients fund wallets with their existing stablecoins and use Alphapoint as treasury workflow software, and bundled rails mode, which adds fiat on-ramp, off-ramp, and FX.
• Flat SaaS pricing with zero basis-point fees on on-platform activity, with fees applying only to fiat on/off ramp and FX when used.

Alphapoint Treasury is designed for regulated environments that need governance, auditability, and predictable economics, with a best fit for institutions handling $5M or more in monthly stablecoin transactions. The through-line is simple: empower institutions with the rapid capabilities of stablecoins while ensuring they retain the controls, ownership, and cost management expected from their treasury solutions.

The company we're keeping

Two of our fellow finalists are among the most recognizable names in digital assets and institutional blockchain infrastructure, each bringing unique strengths to the table.

Coinbase Business is Coinbase's all-in-one crypto financial platform for companies, combining stablecoin payments, payouts, invoicing, trading, accounting integrations, and API-based automation. Coinbase was also one of the original co-founders of the CENTRE Consortium with Circle, which introduced USDC in 2018.

Kinexys by J.P. Morgan is the bank's blockchain platform for programmable payments, near-real-time settlement, and asset tokenization. With more than a decade of institutional blockchain work, Kinexys has processed more than $4 trillion in transaction volume since its inception, with average daily transactions exceeding $7 billion. It represents one of the most established bank-led approaches to blockchain-based institutional payments and tokenized assets, turning cash and assets into programmable, tokenized resources for institutional clients around the clock.

We hold both in high regard. They also help make an important point about the category itself: it spans the entire market, from one of the largest US exchanges and one of the largest US banks to specialized infrastructure providers.

Where Alphapoint fits

Coinbase Business and Kinexys approach institutional digital money from different starting points: one from a crypto-native business platform and the other from global banking infrastructure. Alphapoint Treasury stands out by providing configurable treasury infrastructure that institutions can operate across stablecoins, issuers, and chains under their own governance framework.

We're designed to operate across multiple issuers and chains, and our wallet architecture is non-custodial, so ownership stays with the client. And because pricing is based on a flat SaaS model rather than basis-point fees on on-platform activity, costs remain predictable as transaction volume grows.  For a bank or fintech that wants to run stablecoin treasury as its own regulated operation, with its own approval policies, its own compliance posture, and its own multi-issuer portfolio, rather than plug into someone else's ecosystem, that neutrality is the difference that matters.
