Fiserv launched digital assets platform on October 1, first product was bank stablecoin Roughrider Coin on Solana

Roughrider Coin is issued by VersaBank for Bank of North Dakota, and Solana processes transfers between more than 90 banks and credit unions in the state. Banks enter through the familiar Commercial Center, and they need the coin for settlements with each other, not regular users. For a crypto holder this changes nothing and requires no action: such a coin cannot be bought, and payment volumes are not disclosed.

Facts

• The earliest about the launch with reference to Fiserv was written by industry account twifintech on October 1 at 12:43 UTC, about 11.5 hours before the Solana post.
