Fiserv just flipped the switch on their Digital Asset Platform with real banks.
First live use case: Roughrider Coin — a dollar-backed stablecoin from Bank of North Dakota for interbank settlement.
What matters:
90+ banks and credit unions can plug in through existing Fiserv rails. No rip-and-replace. No forcing TradFi to LARP as a crypto startup.
Blockchain is being woven INTO the legacy system.
The stack:
Bank of North Dakota → Fiserv infra → VersaBank + Fireblocks → $SOL
Different from Metallicus' approach, but same endgame:
Stablecoins. Tokenized deposits. 24/7 settlement. Programmable money layers on top of existing cores.
This is why we're tracking Metallicus, TDBN, PulseVM, DaLand, Coin2Core, Corelation.
Blockchain isn't replacing banking. It's becoming the plumbing.
