Stablecore is pleased to welcome Ben Hailey to the team as Head of Risk & Compliance. In his role, he will ensure our platform’s governance, risk, and compliance frameworks support secure and scalable digital asset integration for partner institutions, ensuring an “exam-ready” path for our partner Chief Risk Officers and Chief Compliance Officers.
Ben joins Stablecore after a distinguished fifteen year career at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), defined by bridging the gap between high-level innovation and rigorous compliance. At the FDIC he held numerous positions, including senior bank examiner and financial analyst & data scientist. Having overseen the regulatory evaluations of over 150 financial institutions throughout his career, Ben understands the specific friction points banks face when adopting new technologies like AI and digital assets. Most recently he directed fintech regulatory oversight for banks in the San Francisco region with a deep focus on the intersection of traditional banking and digital assets. As well, Ben designed the curriculum used to train 300+ FDIC employees on crypto fundamentals.
“I believe stablecoins are the most significant advancement in payment rails today,” said Ben. “However, for a bank to adopt them, the infrastructure must be institutional-grade. At Stablecore, I look forward to leveraging my regulatory background to ensure our partners can deploy digital asset strategies that meet the highest risk and compliance standards.”
Ben’s arrival reinforces Stablecore’s mission: bringing banks and credit unions into the digital asset era without compromising on regulatory integrity. Having consistently received the highest performance ratings offered by the FDIC, Ben is exceptionally well-positioned to help our partners navigate the complex intersection of traditional finance, blockchains, and digital assets. We look forward to his contributions to the company and to the community banks, regional banks and credit unions at the forefront of digital asset adoption.
