(Bismarck, ND) — North Dakota officials are launching a new state-backed cryptocurrency. The Bank of North Dakota announced “Roughrider Coin,” a stablecoin intended to maintain its value, unlike other cryptocurrencies. Officials say the coin will be tied to real assets such as the U.S. Dollar and other commodities, including gold. BND President and CEO Don Morgan also noted that risk management will be at the forefront of the new currency. The Roughrider coin is set to become available sometime in 2026.
