Leading Innovation Powerhouse is partnering with AMINA Bank and Solana Foundation as co-hosts, with Solstice serving as the challenge partner, along with UBS, Keyrock, Fireblocks, and Steakhouse Financial supporting as ecosystem and community partners to empower developers building tomorrow’s financial infrastructure.
ZURICH, Switzerland – 26 January 2026 – Tenity, a global innovation powerhouse with hubs across Europe and Asia, blends venture capital, open innovation and global ecosystem access to create value, today announced the launch of its highly anticipated Global Stablecoin Hackathon – StableHack – designed to accelerate the development of real-world stablecoin solutions for institutional adoption and in collaboration with AMINA Bank AG (“AMINA Bank”), Solana Foundation, Solstice, UBS, Keyrock, Fireblocks and Steakhouse Financial.
The hackathon follows the highly successful Global Stablecoin Roundtable 2025 hosted in Zurich on December 2, 2025. The roundtable featured three expert panels that delivered sharp insights and forward-looking discussions: Real-World Institutional Use Cases, Enabling Stablecoin Innovation and Regulatory Trends for Adoption.
These discussions provided critical insights into operational realities, regulatory evolution, and the technological infrastructure needed to drive stablecoin adoption at scale – insights that will now inform and inspire hackathon participants.
StableHack is a 10-day global virtual hackathon designed to turn institutional stablecoin challenges into deployable solutions. Running fully online with a curated in-person Demo Day in Zurich for finalists, the program brings together top Web3 builders, fintech innovators, and financial institutions to co-create the next generation of stablecoin infrastructure.
Participants will work hands-on with leading protocols and partners—including AMINA Bank, Solana Foundation, Solstice, Keyrock, Fireblocks, and Steakhouse Financial—to prototype solutions that can be tested directly in institutional environments. From cross-border corridors to programmable payments and permissioned DeFi vaults, StableHack aims to produce real-world applications that meet regulatory, technological, and operational standards required by global financial institutions.
“Stablecoins are fast becoming the new financial rails, and institutions worldwide are now exploring how to integrate them at scale. With this initiative, we’re bringing institutional finance and on-chain innovation closer together—empowering developers and entrepreneurs to build the next generation of real-world stablecoin applications.”
– Brigitta Gyoerfi, Hub Director Switzerland at Tenity.
The hackathon has garnered strong support from financial institutions committed to advancing stablecoin technology and enabling real-world adoption.
“Stablecoins are transitioning from innovation to infrastructure, and institutions need banking partners who’ve navigated multiple market cycles. Supporting builders through initiatives like StableHack accelerates the practical solutions required for real-world institutional adoption across payments, treasury management, and programmable finance.”
– Pavel Jakovlev, Head of Product Growth & Innovation at AMINA Bank.
StableHacks is supported by leading industry partners AMINA Bank, Solana Foundation, Solstice, Keyrock, Fireblocks, and Steakhouse Financial, who will provide participants with technical resources, mentorship, and potential pathways to market implementation, with media amplification powered by Mpost.
