Central Asian country Kyrgyzstan plans to debut the Gold Dollar, or USDKG, the gold-backed stablecoin pegged 1:1 with the U.S. dollar in the third quarter, project’s advisor Gabriel Guerra told CoinDesk at the Token2049 conference in Dubai.<\/p>\n

The stablecoin, backed by $500 million in gold from the Kyrgyz Ministry of Finance, is designed to facilitate seamless cross-border transfers in a country where remittances account for 30% of the GDP. <\/p>\n

The Ministry aims to expand the gold reserves to as much as $2 billion, with independent audits planned to ensure trust and transparency in the collateral backing.<\/p>\n

Gold has long been regarded as a highly liquid, risk-free store of value. However, its occasional price swings pose a potential risk to the stability of the stablecoin.<\/p>\n

To mitigate this, the stablecoin will be overcollateralized, Guerra noted, adding that its primary use case would be moving capital across borders.<\/p>\n

“The stablecoin will be used in cross-border transactions and international trade with an initial focus on Central Asia and expansion into Southeast Asia and the Middle East planned for later,” Guerra said.<\/p>\n

Note that USDKG is not intended to track gold prices like USDT or PAXG. Instead, it will be solely backed by gold reserves and issued and redeemed on a 1:1 basis with USD, maintaining a stable value tied directly to the global reserve fiat currency widely used in international trade.<\/p>\n

USDKG holders can redeem their stablecoins for physical gold and other crypto assets or withdraw them as fiat currency.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
