The 2026 CSBS survey separates planned adoption from current services: most respondents have neither offering nor plans to add them within a year.

ABA Banking Journal reported the CSBS community-bank survey results on 6 October. Eighteen percent of respondents said they planned to offer tokenized deposits within the next year, and 16% said the same about stablecoin solutions.
Roughly eight in ten said they neither offered these services nor planned to introduce them over that period. Current reported use was much smaller: approximately 4% for tokenized deposits and 3% for stablecoin solutions, with some existing providers planning to exit.
Reading the survey correctly
These answers describe bankers’ stated intentions and current offerings. They do not measure the value of customer deposits moved through a network, nor establish that announced plans will be delivered.
The useful finding is the gap between interest and implementation. Reporting only the planned-adoption percentages would miss both the large group with no near-term plans and the respondents reconsidering services they already offer.

Key takeaways
- //Plans in a survey are intentions, not verified launches or customer transaction volumes.
