Американский штат Северная Дакота запустит собственный стейблкоин

Национальный банк штата Северная Дакота объявил о планах по запуску собственного стейблкоина Roughrider Coin, который будет полностью обеспечен долларом США. Партнером для запуска токена выступит финансовая компания Fiserv.

В заявлении сказано, что новый стейблкоин появится в 2026 году и будет доступен банкам, финансовым организациям и кредитным союзам штата. Стейблкоин получил название в честь подразделения Rough Riders, которое под руководством будущего президента США Теодора Рузвельта в конце 19 века участвовало в сражениях с испанской армией на Кубе.

Губернатор Северной Дакоты Келли Армстронг (Kelly Armstrong) подчеркнула, что стейблкоин будет обеспечен реальными деньгами и станет символом «передового подхода штата к созданию безопасной и эффективной финансовой экосистемы для своих граждан».

Активы Банка Северной Дакоты составляют всего $10 млрд, поэтому значительной капитализации нового стейблкоина ожидать не стоит, по крайней мере, на начальном периоде его существования. Ожидается, что токен будет использоваться в межбанковских операциях, международных переводах, а также будет доступен для оплаты покупок в магазинах.

«Мы вступаем в новую эру, где платежи мгновенны, совместимы и не имеют границ. С Roughrider Coin мы объединяем надежность традиционных финансов и инновации блокчейна, чтобы обеспечить быстрые и интеллектуальные цифровые платежи. Власти Северной Дакоты демонстрируют дальновидную политику, которая способствует реальному прогрессу в области цифровых финансов», ― заявил операционный директор Fiserv Такис Георгакопулос (Takis Georgakopoulos).

Напомним, что в этом году собственный стейблкоин также появился в штате Вайоминг. В августе власти Вайоминга запустили токен FRNT сразу на семи блокчейнах.

The Full Story of How Crypto Unicorn Blockstream Is Mired in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details serious allegations of fraud against Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. In June 2024, investigative account NatInfoSec published a report accusing Blockstream's mining note (BMN) program of potentially operating a multi-billion dollar scheme with Ponzi-like characteristics. The core allegations focus on Blockstream Mining Notes (BMNs), which offer investors fixed annual yields up to approximately 20% from Bitcoin mining. NatInfoSec's investigation raises several key issues: 1. **Suspicious Hashrate & Payout Capacity**: The analysis suggests Blockstream would need 20-45 EH/s of mining power to cover its BMN obligations, but its public dashboard shows only around 15 EH/s. Furthermore, no verifiable public evidence (e.g., grid connection records, import data) was found to support the massive mining operation required. 2. **Questionable Payout Source**: The BMN contract allows Blockstream to use Bitcoin from *any source* (Substitute Performance BTC) to fulfill investor payouts, raising concerns that payouts may not come from actual mining revenue. 3. **High-Risk, Fixed Returns**: Offering ~20% fixed yields in the volatile, cyclical Bitcoin mining industry is viewed as highly unusual and requires clear explanation. 4. **Undisclosed Criminal Record of Key Figure**: Christopher William Cook, a key figure in Blockstream's mining operations and CEO of spin-off Exacore, was found to have a federal felony conviction for mail fraud in 2008, a fact not disclosed in BMN offering documents. His background was also allegedly embellished. 5. **Potential Contagion to BSTR SPAC**: Questions were raised about whether these liabilities and Cook's record should have been disclosed in the SEC filings for Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a separate Adam Back-associated firm planning a SPAC merger. The crypto community is divided. BitMEX Research validated Cook's criminal record and expressed concern over the high yields but found other evidence lacking or misleading, noting the legal separation between BMN, Blockstream, and BSTR. Blockstream defenders, like Samson Mow, argue the mining is real. Critics, however, emphasize the lack of independent, verifiable proof of the mining operation's scale and the true source of investor payouts. The article concludes that BMN remains shrouded in key unanswered questions regarding its actual size, the verifiability of its underlying mining assets and payouts, the source of its high yields, and the full role and disclosure concerning Chris Cook. Blockstream had not issued a comprehensive response at the time of writing.

The Full Story Behind Encryption Unicorn Blockstream's Deep Entanglement in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details allegations of serious fraud surrounding the crypto company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. Investigation account NatInfoSec accuses Blockstream of raising billions through its Blockstream Mining Note (BMN) products, which offer high fixed yields of up to 20% from purported mining revenue. The core allegations are: 1) Blockstream's public mining hash rate (15 EH/s) appears insufficient to cover the massive payout obligations from sold BMN notes, raising questions about the true source of investor payouts. 2) Key executive Christopher William Cook, central to the mining operations, has a prior federal conviction for mail fraud, a fact not disclosed to investors. Cook's background and lavish lifestyle are highlighted as red flags. 3) The structure allows payouts from any source of BTC, not necessarily mining revenue, which critics argue gives it Ponzi-like characteristics. The controversy also touches on Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a related entity planning a SPAC上市. Critics question whether BMN's liabilities and Cook's record should be disclosed in BSTR's filings. BitMEX Research offered a tempered analysis, confirming Cook's criminal record is likely true and the high yields concerning, but found other claims like insufficient抵押证据 less substantiated. Community debate centers on the need for verifiable proof of Blockstream's mining output and revenue. The article concludes that while fraud is not proven, BMN presents significant, unresolved questions regarding its actual scale, the source of its high fixed returns, the verifiability of its mining operations and payouts, and the full disclosure of associated risks and personnel backgrounds. Blockstream has not yet issued a formal response.
