This US State’s New Stablecoin Honors a Legendary President

North Dakota is partnering with Fiserv to launch a USD-backed stablecoin. Roughrider Coin, based on President Teddy Roosevelt, will hopefully conduct a pilot launch in 2026.

There aren’t many details available about any technical questions, but that’s fairly unsurprising. It may take months to choose a blockchain for this token, if the last state-run stablecoin is any consideration.

North Dakota’s Stablecoin

Wyoming made headlines last month when it became the first US state to launch a stablecoin, a process that took several months to develop.

Today, Fiserv, a fintech and payments company, made a joint announcement with the state-owned Bank of North Dakota, claiming that they will also launch a dollar-backed stablecoin soon.

The new stablecoin in question has been dubbed “Roughrider Coin,” after President Teddy Roosevelt’s famous cavalry regiment.

Although Roosevelt was not a North Dakota native, he spent much of his life as a state resident, lending his likeness to the stablecoin.

A Dearth of Web3 Details

Thanks to the partnership with North Dakota’s government and state banks, Fiserv hopes to launch the stablecoin as a pilot in 2026. This soft release will include banks and credit unions, but there aren’t many details available.

Unfortunately, there’s very little concrete information right now, other than the enthusiasm of the participants. Most of the press release consists of quotes and the relevant companies’ backgrounds, not any data pertinent to the token’s capabilities.

This shouldn’t be that surprising, though. Wyoming took months to decide on a blockchain for its stablecoin, and North Dakota is starting from the very beginning too. We may be waiting quite a while before we learn any practical details.

Still, this could be a huge milestone for US crypto adoption. North Dakota is on track to be the second state with its own stablecoin, but it might not be the last.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
