Uzbekistan Launches Government Bond-Backed Stablecoin Pilot

Uzbekistan has commenced a pilot testing HUMO stablecoin payments backed by government bonds across more than 20 merchants. The initiative operates within a regulatory sandbox overseen jointly by the National Agency for Perspective Projects (NAPP) and Uzbekistan's central bank.

Why it matters for the market

State-backed digital asset and stablecoin initiatives reflect growing sovereign regulatory frameworks for payment tokens, which may influence broader crypto market liquidity and jurisdictional compliance standards surrounding proof-of-work settlement layers like Kaspa.
