Trump-Associated 'Board of Peace' Allegedly Aims to Launch Stablecoin for Gaza

Gaza's New Digital Currency Initiative: Gaza's new technocratic government is working to introduce a stablecoin to reduce reliance on physical cash, which has become scarce due to restrictions on cash flow from Israel since 2023.

Leadership and Collaboration: Israeli tech entrepreneur Liran Tancman is leading discussions on the stablecoin project, collaborating with the U.S.-led Board of Peace and other local governance bodies to rebuild Gaza's economy post-war.

Digital Currency Framework: The proposed stablecoin aims to facilitate online business transactions and is expected to be linked to the U.S. dollar, although it will not serve as a new Palestinian currency.

Shift to Electronic Payments: Due to cash shortages and high fees charged by traders for available cash, more people in Gaza are turning to electronic payment systems as a means of conducting transactions.
