Wyoming Makes History, Launches America’s First State-Issued Stablecoin

Wyoming just flipped the script on traditional finance—launching the nation's first state-backed stablecoin that actually cuts out the middlemen.

Why This Changes Everything

Forget waiting on federal approvals or banking red tape. Wyoming's move bypasses the entire bureaucratic circus, putting a fully-regulated digital dollar directly into circulation. No private company calling the shots—just pure state-backed stability.

The Tech Behind the Breakthrough

Built on a transparent blockchain, this isn't some speculative crypto gamble. Every token is backed 1:1 by actual U.S. dollars held in state reserves. Audits happen in real-time—because apparently someone in government finally learned from the stablecoin collapses of 2023.

Wall Street's Ironic Dilemma

Banks hate it until they can profit from it—watch them scramble to 'partner' with the very system they lobbied against. Wyoming just proved states can innovate faster than Congress can draft another study committee report.

This isn't just a currency launch—it's a declaration of financial independence from the slow-moving giants. Finally, a stablecoin that might actually stay stable.

Wyoming’s Frontier Token Debuts on 7 Blockchains

Wyoming became the first state to launch a blockchain-based stablecoin in the United States today. The Frontier Stable Token (FRNT) is a fully reserved, fiat-backed digital currency that can now be used for various digital transactions, including payments for goods and services.

The stablecoin has already debuted across seven blockchains. These include Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and several ethereum Layer-2 networks such as Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base.

Today, Commission Chairman & @GovernorGordon announced the mainnet launch of the Frontier Stable Token (FRNT).

The Wyoming Stable Token Commission, chaired by Governor Mark Gordon, oversees the issuance and management of FRNT. 

“The mainnet launch of the Frontier Stable Token will empower our citizens and businesses with a modern, efficient, and secure means of transacting in the digital age,” said Gordon in a press release. 

Since it was issued by a sovereign state rather than a private entity, FRNT operates outside the framework of the GENIUS Act. All its reserve income will be directed to Wyoming’s School Foundation Fund, which supports the state’s public education. 

According to the press release, FRNT will be entirely backed by US dollars and short-term treasuries. To ensure stability, the token must also maintain a 2% overcollateralization.

FRNT will soon be available on the Solana blockchain through Kraken, a Wyoming-based digital asset exchange, and Rain’s Visa-integrated card platform on the Avalanche blockchain.

A Coordinated Push for Digital Finance

The announcement coincides with the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium conference, which will occur tomorrow in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The launch of FRNT is part of a broader trend of stablecoin adoption in the United States, accelerated particularly by the passage of the GENIUS Act.

Wyoming has been proactive in integrating stablecoins into the broader financial system well before the bill was signed into law. In 2023, the state established the Wyoming Stable Token Commission to develop a US dollar-backed token and manage its integration into public finance.
