Tassat, the fintech firm behind Signature Bank's Signet network, is launching Project NENYA, a stablecoin reserve management platform designed to help regional and midsize U.S. banks compete for stablecoin deposits. The platform, launching early 2027, creates a shared marketplace where stablecoin issuers can allocate reserves across multiple banks and tokenised liquid assets, reducing concentration risk at a handful of large institutions.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ The Wire takeaway
If you build deposit management, compliance, or liquidity tooling for banks, regional lenders just became a viable customer base — Tassat has removed the scale barrier that kept them out of stablecoins. You now have a window to sell into hundreds of mid-sized banks before the mega-banks lock down the market.
