Digital-Asset Infrastructure
for Credit Unions

Aetherum brings digital-asset lending, payments, stablecoin money movement, member-controlled wallets, and audit-native compliance together within one institution-governed infrastructure layer.

Credit unions retain the member relationship, lending authority, risk framework, and institutional control while Aetherum provides the specialized policy, compliance, and orchestration layer.

Every financial workflow governed. Every material decision explainable. Every action examiner-ready.

The Challenge

Your Members Already Own Crypto. They Just Can't Use It With You.

⚙️

Legacy Core Systems

Your existing infrastructure wasn't designed for digital assets. Adding crypto capabilities typically means expensive, risky core overhauls.

🛡️

Compliance & Cybersecurity Risk

Unclear regulatory frameworks and evolving security requirements make digital asset adoption feel like a minefield for compliance teams.

📈

Member Deposit Flight

Deposits are migrating to fintechs, neobanks, and crypto exchanges that offer yield and modern digital experiences your members expect.

💰

High Cost of Innovation

Tight budgets, long vendor contracts, and limited tech resources make it nearly impossible to compete with fintech-level product speed.

The Aetherum Platform

Institutional-Grade Digital Asset Infrastructure

📊

Crypto-Collateralized Loans

AI-driven lending with dynamic LTV ratios and real-time rate adjustments. Members borrow USD against BTC, ETH, and other assets — no liquidation surprises.

DACS Scoring
🤖

24/7 AI Agents

Autonomous collateral monitoring, yield optimization, risk alerts, and compliance automation. Your team gets institutional-grade coverage without the headcount.

Always On
🔒

Institutional Custody & Compliance

Member-controlled wallet infrastructure with institution-governed permissions and regulated third-party infrastructure where required by the financial workflow. Embedded KYC/AML supports real-time transaction monitoring and compliance evidence. Three-tier liquidation escalation ensures no large position is auto-sold without human sign-off — Tier 1 auto-executes standard conditions, Tier 2 pages your risk officer with a 30-minute override window, Tier 3 requires explicit loan officer authorization.

CU-Owned Custody

Institution-Scoped Member Identity

A member's relationship with the credit union persists across wallets, custodians, and rails. The institution remains in control of authorization while sensitive compliance evidence stays protected off-chain and examiner-ready.

Every collateral position monitored 24/7. LTV recomputed continuously against live prices. Margin calls flagged automatically before they become losses. For SOL collateral, live staking yield is sourced directly from the Solana RPC — estimated APY displayed alongside position value on the member dashboard.

CU Debt Instrument

Audit-native tokenized loan participation.

Dynamic Asset Risk Assessment (DACS™)

The Intelligence Layer Behind Aetherum Digital-Asset Lending — 22 Patents Pending

DACS is Aetherum's patent-pending risk assessment engine that evaluates crypto collateral in real time across ten weighted dimensions. Unlike static LTV models, DACS continuously recalibrates to protect your credit union and optimize borrower terms. All risk computations are performed on encrypted inputs — member financial data is never exposed during the assessment process. Member risk assessments trigger automatic on-chain identity attestation via ERC-3643 compliance modules.

Built to Prove Every Step

Regulated finance can't run on "trust us." Aetherum is engineered so lending, payment, wallet, and compliance workflows produce evidence — not just transactions. Every material decision is designed to be traceable to policy and built to withstand institutional review.

Traceable to policy

Every control and every finding maps to a documented rule an examiner can follow.

Proven, not promised

Risks resolve when they're demonstrably closed, not when a scan looks clean.

Explainable to the member

The clarity a regulator sees is the clarity your members get.
