Ripple Lands New Country For A Stablecoin Pilot Project, XRP Involved?
In a piece of news that went undetected within the crypto community for a few days, the Southeastern European country of Montenegro has announced a partnership with Ripple. The country’s prime minister, Dr. Dritan Abazović Tweetano about the pilot project with Ripple already on January 18, 2023.
Via the social media platform, the Montenegrin Prime Minister reported on his meeting with Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, and James Wallis, Ripple Vice President for Central Bank Engagement and CBDCs and said:
Productive meeting with Ripple CEO Garlinghouse i Ripple Vice President of Central Bank Engagement James Wallis. We talked about developing a payments infrastructure that would enable greater financial accessibility and inclusion. Montenegro is open to new value and investment.
In addition, Dr. Abazović revealed that his country will be working with Ripple on a pilot project for a digital stablecoin: “In collaboration with Ripple and the Central Bank, we have launched a pilot project to build the first digital currency or stablecoin for Montenegro,” he stated and shared the image below.
Crna Gora je zemlja kandidat za članstvo u Europskoj uniji čiji zahtjev još nije odobren. Iako Crna Gora još nije dio eurozone, Crna Gora koristi EUR. To znači da euro tamo nije zakonito sredstvo plaćanja; međutim, vlada i stanovništvo ga tako tretiraju.
Montenegro’s Intentions with Ripple, XRP Involved?
Zanimljivo je da je Ivan Bošković, bivši direktor Odjela za platne sustave i financijsku tehnologiju Centralne banke Crne Gore (CBCG), objavljen članak u Currency Researchu pod naslovom “Centralna banka Crne Gore: Kako potaknuti inovacije u bankarstvu i plaćanju u maloj ekonomiji u razvoju” nedavno 14. prosinca 2022.
Bošković je napisao kako je digitalna transformacija temeljni izvor dugoročnog rasta, posebice u financijskom sektoru. U tom smislu, manje zemlje poput Crne Gore suočavaju se s preprekama koje je daleko teže prevladati od onih u naprednim gospodarstvima u usporedbi sa svjetskim liderima; ali je dalje rekao:
Međutim, neke zemlje kao što su Singapur, Luksemburg i Malta su među prvima. Njihova vizionarska politika se isplatila i sada se tretiraju kao uzori mnogim drugima. Ključno je pitanje može li se njihov uspjeh lako pratiti ili kopirati.
According to Boskovic, one of the factors behind the success of the aforementioned countries was the creation of a favorable political framework, which was necessary. And cooperation with Ripple could be another step in bringing knowledge and technology into the country.
As Bitcoinje izvijestio, Central Bank Digital Currencies are a big focus for Ripple in 2023. The company recently hosted a webinar with the Digital Pound Foundation called “What Is A Digital Pound Really Useful For?” James Wallis delivered the keynote.
Brooks Entwistle, SVP i MD na Ripple, also revealed that the company does not intend to implement a solution for every central bank in the world, but is taking a targeted approach – with smaller central banks around the globe showing particular interest. Palau i Kraljevine Butan recently made their partnerships with Ripple javni.
Nije poznato da li će XRP ili XRP Ledger igrati ulogu u pilot projektu u Crnoj Gori. U ovom kontekstu, međutim, Entwistle je imao pri ruci opće objašnjenje.
“Postoje mjesta na kojima možemo igrati, možda s bočnim lancem do XRP knjige. Možemo pomoći oko interoperabilnosti u ovome, ali to će biti drugačije za svaku središnju banku”, rekao je.
U vrijeme tiska, cijena XPR-a iznosila je 0.4099 USD, boreći se da pređe 200-dnevnu EMA.
