On October 8, 2025, Coinbase Global announced it had invested in Jiko, a U.S. Treasury‑backed liquidity platform that operates 24/7 and offers instant fiat settlement for institutional clients. The investment was described as “strategic backing” by Coinbase and was announced alongside other partners such as Blockstream Capital Partners, Crypto.com, and Bitso.
Jiko’s model is built entirely on U.S. Treasury bills, providing a highly liquid, low‑counterparty‑risk foundation for its settlement network. The platform’s 24/7 fiat‑settlement capability allows institutions to move U.S. dollars in real time, a feature that aligns with Coinbase’s Prime and custody services and enhances its ability to serve large‑scale institutional clients.
By adding Jiko to its ecosystem, Coinbase gains access to a new infrastructure that can support higher‑volume, lower‑cost settlement and liquidity management. The partnership positions Coinbase to compete more directly with traditional banks in the real‑time payments space, potentially opening additional revenue streams and strengthening its competitive moat in the institutional crypto market.
