๐ A municipal stablecoin? Tinian might beat the U.S. Congress to it
The Senate of the Northern Mariana Islands (a U.S. territory) has overridden the governorโs veto and advanced a bill to launch the MUSD stablecoin โ now itโs up to the House of Representatives. If passed, Tinian would become the first U.S. region to issue its own government-backed #stablecoin .
โก๏ธ Key details from the bill:
๐ก MUSD will be fully backed by U.S. dollars and government bonds
๐ก Issuance will be managed by the local treasury on the eCash #blockchain
๐ก It will also be used in newly launched online casinos to enable transparent, on-chain payments
โก๏ธ Context:
๐ก The islandโs economy relies heavily on tourism โ local authorities are seeking digital tools for diversification
๐ก The bill is being pushed by local Republicans
๐ก With federal bills like STABLE and GENIUS stalled (partly due to criticism over Trumpโs #crypto ties), regions are taking matters into their own hands
If the House approves, this could set a precedent: a municipal stablecoin launched ahead of federal regulation. As tokenization and Web3 payments gain momentum, Tinianโs case could have broad implications for the entire industry.
