The conventional banks perhaps are currently superior in the financial sector, with regards to the assets they hold. However, recently credit unions have been experiencing a surge, and are a recognized alternative for Americans who meet their requirements.

Analysis indicate that credit unions in the United States are about 4,600. A statement in 2023 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), stressed that about 139 million Americans have become part of credit unions that are federally insured. This is a 20% increase from past year.

Kyle Hauptman, who is the Vice Chairman of the NCUA, mentioned that tokenizing of smaller loans, which are not considered to be securitized in a bond can be very beneficial. Kyle emphasized that tokenization may be beneficial in data identification of reference user.
