THE FUTURE OF FINANCE: BRANDON PRICHARD AND DON MORGAN DISCUSS NORTH DAKOTA’S ROUGHRIDER COIN

On this episode of Open Range, guest host Brandon Prichard sits down with Don Morgan, President and CEO of the Bank of North Dakota (BND), for an in-depth look at the state’s bold new move into the digital frontier — the Roughrider Coin. Morgan explains why now is the right time for the BND to explore stablecoin technology, how it could transform the way North Dakotans interact with financial systems, and the steps being taken to ensure the project’s success in uncharted territory. They also discuss the GENIUS Act and its potential effects on state and national banking, the costs and benefits of developing digital currency infrastructure, and how the BND is adapting to the rapid rise of financial technology (FinTech). Morgan shares how the BND continues to serve as a cornerstone for economic growth in North Dakota, maintaining its mission to support residents, businesses, and community development across the state.
