North Dakota to Launch Roughrider Coin for 2026 State Digital Transactions

North Dakota will launch Roughrider Coin in 2026, aiming to modernize interbank transactions among US states with a state-backed stablecoin. This initiative, developed by the Bank of North Dakota and fintech partner Fiserv, could lead to significant changes in financial infrastructure across the state.
