StraitsX to Launch SGD and USD Stablecoins on Monad Blockchain
StraitsX, a Singapore-based payments firm, is set to launch its SGD and USD stablecoins on the Monad blockchain in early 2027. The move will make XSGD the first Singapore dollar-denominated stablecoin issued natively on the network.
The planned issuance of XSGD and XUSD aims to extend StraitsX's reach beyond its existing infrastructure into a newer blockchain ecosystem with a growing base of applications and financial services.
Monad, an Ethereum-compatible Layer 1 blockchain focused on financial applications, will host the stablecoins. The launch is subject to technical, regulatory, and compliance requirements.
