Kyrgyzstan has launched the USDKG stablecoin, a digital currency pegged to the US dollar but backed by physical gold reserves. The token is issued by a company under the Ministry of Finance and is traded on the Tron blockchain. The initial supply is 50 million tokens, backed by 376 kilograms of gold, with plans to expand the reserves to 500 million dollars. This project aims to reduce the cost of cross-border payments and accelerate the speed of cross-border payments, which is crucial for Kyrgyzstan's economy, where remittances account for more than 30% of GDP.
