Union Bank AG of Liechtenstein to Launch Security Token and Stable Coin

Liechtenstein, a tiny country, is all set to lead the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry in Europe. Recently, one of its banks, the Union Bank AG announced the launch of stable coins and fiat-backed security tokens, becoming the world’s first fully regulated bank.

A press release filed on August 17 announced that the Union Bank will issue tokens under the supervision of FMA (Financial Market Authority) which is a financial watchdog of Liechtenstein. This announcement came days after the Cryptoassets Exchange of Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein Cryptoassets Exchange entered into a strategic partnership with Binance which is the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume.

The Union Bank plans to become the world’s first blockchain investment bank by using new cryptocurrencies. The bank also plans to act as a one-stop shop for people interested in using cryptocurrencies and blockchain in the near future.

This Liechtenstein-based bank has a global presence and also serves the Middle East along with Germany, Switzerland, and Australia. As of now, the bank has not provided any information regarding the currency the stable coin will be based on. However, it is clear that the coin will be called as Union Bank Payment Coin and would be somewhat similar to Ripple.

M.H Dastmaltchi, the chairman of the Board, sounded positive about the whole development and said:

“Our fiat-backed Union Bank Payment Coin has the potential to disrupt the approach to international trade and international cross-border transactions.”

Liechtenstein to be a Frontrunner of Crypto Technology?

Union Bank is sure to get the benefits of the forward-looking and positive stance of Liechtenstein. It is important to mention here that the country has one of the highest GDP per capita in the world, along with an equally advanced and progressive fiscal policy.

The country recently released a framework in March 2018, the Blockchain Act, and is all set to help the blockchain companies, and this is undoubtedly going to provide a boost to the blockchain industry in the country.

  3. Interesting blog post. A few things i would like to bring about is that pc memory must be purchased if your computer still can’t cope with what you do along with it. One can mount two RAM memory boards containing 1GB each, by way of example, but not certainly one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should always check the maker’s documentation for own PC to ensure what type of memory space is necessary.

  4. Thanks for another magnificent article. The place else may anyone get that type of information in such an ideal means of writing?I have a presentation next week, and I am on the search for such information.

  5. One thing I have actually noticed is that often there are plenty of misguided beliefs regarding the banking companies intentions any time talking about home foreclosure. One misconception in particular is the fact the bank needs to have your house. The bank wants your hard earned money, not your property. They want the cash they gave you together with interest. Averting the bank is only going to draw any foreclosed conclusion. Thanks for your publication.

  6. Thanks for the suggestions about credit repair on this amazing site. Some tips i would tell people is to give up the particular mentality that they’ll buy currently and pay later. Being a society all of us tend to make this happen for many issues. This includes trips, furniture, and items we would like. However, you need to separate your wants out of the needs. While you are working to boost your credit score you have to make some sacrifices. For example you are able to shop online to save cash or you can go to second hand shops instead of highly-priced department stores for clothing.
