National Stablecoin

Definition

A national stablecoin is a digital currency issued or backed by a central bank or government, designed to maintain a stable value relative to the nation’s fiat currency. Unlike private stablecoins, it operates under the direct oversight and regulatory framework of a sovereign entity. These digital assets aim to offer the benefits of blockchain technology, such as efficient payments and programmable money, while preserving monetary sovereignty and financial stability. National stablecoins represent a governmental response to the rise of private digital currencies.
