StraitX is planning to launch a Singapore Dollar-backed stablecoin on Solana in early 2026.

8 hours ago

On December 16, StraitX—a cryptocurrency infrastructure firm—announced plans to launch two stablecoins on the Solana public blockchain in early 2026: XSGD (tethered to the Singapore Dollar) and XUSD (tethered to the U.S. Dollar). The company will collaborate with the Solana Foundation to promote the rollout. At launch, users will be able to instantly convert SGD and USD directly on Solana’s chain—functioning as “on-chain forex trading.” This marks Solana’s first integration of a Singapore Dollar stablecoin. Currently, the network hosts roughly $15.7 billion in stablecoins pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. Dollar and Australian Dollar, but SGD was not previously supported. StraitX noted that XSGD and XUSD will operate on Solana’s high-speed, low-cost environment, catering to use cases including AI automated payments, DeFi applications, cross-border settlements, and everyday transactions. The stablecoins will also be compatible with centralized exchanges (CEXs), automated market maker (AMM) liquidity pools, and lending protocols.

People's Bank of China Shanghai Headquarters: The digital RMB does not have speculative space, and there is no so-called "exchange subsidy" or "cashback commission."

December 16, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) Shanghai Head Office reminded the public that the digital renminbi (e-CNY) is a digital form of legal tender, operating under a two-tier system involving the central bank and digital currency operators. There are no private promotion centers for the e-CNY, and no "digital renminbi promoter exam" exists. The e-CNY has no room for speculation. There are no so-called "exchange subsidies," "transaction rebates," high commissions, or promises of high returns on holdings. It will never induce users to disclose personal sensitive information or participate in pyramid schemes. When faced with offers of "high returns" or "risk-free profits" from alleged "digital renminbi investments," stay alert, don’t be gullible, and guard against scams to avoid financial losses. If you suspect a scam, contact police right away.
