ICBA has announced a consulting agreement with Wade Peery, a longtime community bank executive and digital assets expert. This strategic relationship reflects ICBA’s commitment to keeping community banks informed and ready as digital assets continue to influence the financial services landscape.
Peery brings experience in digital asset custody, stablecoins, tokenized deposits and the broader digital asset ecosystem. His background includes serving as chief innovations officer at FirstBank in Nashville, Tennessee, where he helped guide the bank through major shifts in technology and regulation. His industry perspective is widely respected, and his work with ICBA will support advocacy, education, and innovation at a time when clarity and direction are more important than ever.
This month, Peery served as instructor for ICBA’s five-part Digital Assets Webinar Series. The sessions offered community bankers a grounded, practical look at the technologies shaping the future of financial services. The series covered digital asset fundamentals, stablecoins, tokenized deposits, the broader ecosystem and real-world use cases for community banks with each session designed to help institutions understand the risks, opportunities, and regulatory developments that are driving rapid change across the industry.
In their governance roles, bank directors will increasingly encounter decisions related to digital assets. A strong grasp of the digital‑assets landscape is essential for making informed choices and providing sound oversight that supports the bank’s leadership and staff.
