AFP and Kyriba launch the treasury profession's first joint Stablecoins and On-chain Liquidity Certificate

SAN DIEGO, 15 June 2026 – Kyriba, the global leader in liquidity performance, and the Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) today launched a pioneering treasury certificate focused on stablecoins and on-chain liquidity. Developed by AFP in collaboration with Kyriba, the programme marks a major milestone in the institutional adoption of digital assets across corporate finance.

The launch comes at a defining moment for the profession. Stablecoin legislation is advancing rapidly across the globe, institutional adoption is accelerating, and treasury teams are being asked to form and defend positions on digital assets, often without the foundational knowledge to do so. More than half of financial institutions expect to adopt stablecoins within 12 months, up from just 13% currently using them, according to recent research from EY¹. The certificate exists to close that gap.

Developed by AFP in collaboration with Kyriba, the programme delivers approximately eight hours of on-demand content, earns practitioners 7.8 CTP credits, and awards a digital badge and printable certificate within 72 hours of completion. It is structured across four modules designed to take treasury professionals from first principles to implementation readiness:

Module 1: Stablecoins in Treasury, Why This Matters Now. The landscape, the regulatory shift, and why this is no longer a topic treasury can defer
Module 2: Instruments, Risks, Governance, Policy and Security. How to evaluate, hold and govern digital value instruments with the rigour corporate treasury demands
Module 3: Treasury Operations on New Rails. The practical implications for payments, reconciliation, liquidity management and counterparty relationships
Module 4: Suitability, Readiness, Pilot Design and Next Steps. Frameworks for assessing organisational readiness and leading the internal conversation from evaluation to execution

"Stablecoins are moving quickly from a question treasury teams can watch to one they need to lead,” said Melissa Di Donato, Chair and Chief Executive Officer at Kyriba. “AFP's decision to build this programme with Kyriba, reflects the seriousness with which both organisations take the responsibility of getting that transition right for the profession."

“As stablecoins move from theory toward real treasury infrastructure, finance professionals need practical frameworks and trusted guidance,” said Pat Culkin, President and CEO, AFP. “Kyriba brought both deep treasury expertise and real-world innovation to this programme, making them the right partner to help deliver this industry-first certificate to the profession.”

The programme is available immediately via AFP Learn here and via Kyriba Elevate. The first 500 Kyriba customers to enroll receive complimentary access.
