North Dakota to Issue State-Backed Roughrider Stablecoin in 2026

North Dakota is set to launch a state-backed stablecoin called Roughrider in 2026. This initiative, developed in partnership with Fiserv, aims to revolutionize interbank transactions by providing faster and more secure financial settlements for regional banks and credit unions. The pilot program will begin in 2025, led by the Bank of North Dakota. The project is designed to streamline financial processes and offer new financial products to customers.
