SCFCU President and CEO Jed Meyer Presents at GAC 2025

St. Cloud Financial Credit Union President and CEO Jed Meyer took center stage in Washington D.C. on March 4 as a speaker at America’s Credit Unions Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC), the biggest event in the credit union movement.

Meyer was part of the expert lineup presenting at the conference, discussing one of the most pressing issues facing credit unions today: Digital Assets and Cryptocurrency.

Meyer spoke on the topic of “Digital Assets and Crypto: Protecting Community Wealth or Withering Away as Money Evolves” in front of a crowd at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, sharing how SCFCU is taking bold steps to keep money within our credit union, meeting evolving member expectations and ensuring we stay relevant — even as a smaller institution.

During his presentation, Meyer tackled the hard truth that credit unions are facing and touching on key topics such as:

  • Keeping deposits in the credit union movement instead of watching them flow to crypto exchanges.

  • Taking action now, not waiting for regulatory clarity while liquidity drains away.

  • Why even smaller credit unions can lead in this space — with the right strategy and tools.

  • Digital assets aren’t the future, they’re the present. Ignoring them means losing member trust and liquidity.

  • Even small credit unions can take bold steps to innovate and protect their members’ financial future.

  • How tools like SCFCU’s CU-Digital Asset Vault can help credit unions navigate this shift while maintaining compliance and security.

As member expectations shift and digital assets reshape finance, credit unions have a choice —adapt or risk losing relevance. Meyer shared just how SCFCU is leading the way, proving that even smaller institutions can be bold and forward-thinking.
