Kyrgyz Republic to launch USDKG, a gold-backed stablecoin pegged to the U.S. Dollar, in Q3 2025

USDKG to be backed by $500 million in physical gold reserves from the Kyrgyz Ministry of Finance, with planned expansion to $2 billion.

/EIN News/ -- BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Kyrgyz Republic has announced the upcoming launch of USDKG, a gold-backed stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar. The stablecoin is expected to go live in the third quarter of 2025, with an initial reserve of $500 million in physical gold held by the Ministry of Finance.

The initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance cross-border payment infrastructure in Central Asia and facilitate international trade through blockchain-based financial instruments. USDKG is designed for institutional-grade use and will be overcollateralized to mitigate volatility in gold prices.

Unlike commodity-pegged tokens, USDKG is not intended to track the price of gold. Instead, it maintains a strict 1:1 parity with the U.S. dollar, backed by audited gold reserves. The issuance and redemption process will allow users to exchange tokens for physical gold, crypto assets, or fiat currency.

The government of Kyrgyzstan plans to expand USDKG’s reserve base to $2 billion and conduct regular third-party audits to ensure transparency and trust in the asset’s collateral structure.

USDKG will initially target cross-border transactions and trade in Central Asia, with planned expansion into Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Remittance flows currently account for approximately 30% of Kyrgyzstan’s GDP, highlighting the potential economic impact of streamlined digital payments.

Holders of USDKG will have the ability to redeem their tokens for physical gold, convert them into other digital assets, or withdraw equivalent amounts in fiat currency. The structure provides both flexibility and trust, backed by tangible national reserves.
