Apoio do petróleo às stablecoins chegou: como integrar o mercado de 2,4 trilhões de dólares no Web3?

【币界】Traditional energy markets are moving towards digital assets. A Middle Eastern energy trading platform has announced the launch of OIL1——the world’s first oil-backed stablecoin, directly targeting the $2.4 trillion global oil trading market.

From a technical architecture perspective, OIL1 is anchored to both the US dollar and Gulf crude oil prices, backed by actual oil reserves and a diversified currency mix including USDC. This design is much more complex than simple fiat-backed stablecoins—it not only needs to maintain the dollar peg but also handles the volatility of commodities. The project has chosen the Arc blockchain launched by Circle as its infrastructure, with security provided by Microsoft and ITC Secure. This combination is considered a solid setup within the industry.

Currently, the coin is awaiting approval from the Bahrain financial regulators. Once approved, it will mark the first large-scale, regulated commodity-backed stablecoin entering the market. This could be a turning point for institutional investors looking to shift traditional commodity assets onto the blockchain.
