According to Bloomberg, North Dakota plans to launch a stablecoin called "Roughrider Coin" in 2026, making it the second U.S. state to issue a state-level stablecoin after Wyoming. The project is led by the only state-owned bank in the U.S.—the Bank of North Dakota—in collaboration with Fiserv, which will utilize the technology platforms of Paxos and Circle. The stablecoin will be fully backed by the U.S. dollar and initially used for financial transactions such as loan issuance, overnight lending, and construction financing between banks and credit unions within the state. In the future, it may expand to offer stablecoin deposit accounts for customers. https://www.(wublock123.com)/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=49904
