Palau has decided to end its U.S. dollar stablecoin project, known as the Palau Stablecoin (PSC), after conducting a pilot since August. Jay Hunter, a member of the Palau Ministry of Finance, took to social media to announce that the distribution of PSC will cease on September 8. Following this, the stablecoin will be frozen on September 15, making it unavailable for spending. The decision to freeze the stablecoin was not accompanied by specific reasons, but Hunter mentioned that a survey will be sent to pilot participants to gather feedback. The government aims to use this feedback to shape the future of the stablecoin program. The PSC was launched in late July with the goal of reducing transaction costs and improving transfer speed for the people, businesses, and government of Palau. It was built on Ripple's XRP Ledger, a platform that focuses on central bank digital currencies. The decision to end the project comes shortly after Hunter shared a study on stablecoin technology and security considerations.
