Wyoming + Visa = new state-backed stablecoin

-

Wyoming’s making moves in the crypto industry, and honestly, it’s kinda exciting.

The Cowboy State just rolled out its own stablecoin, FRNT, short for Frontier Stable Token.

That’s a quite big deal on its own, but also, this baby’s got Visa backing and plays across not one, not two, but seven blockchains. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of stablecoins.

State-backed crypto

FRNT is fully backed by good ol’ US Treasuries and the US dollar. So, this ain’t some fly-by-night digital token, it’s rock-solid, with a 102% reserve rule that makes private stablecoins look shaky.

Wyoming’s saying loud and clear, we’re serious, we’re legit, and we want the big institutional types and traditional finance players to trust us.

Imagine that, state-backed crypto with more backup than your boss’s urgent coffee orders on Monday morning.

Now, FRNT ain’t out there yet. No public trading just quite yet, Wyoming’s Stable Token Commission is keeping it close for now.

But soon, people in Wyoming can grab their piece via Kraken and start paying with it anywhere Visa’s accepted.

That means Apple Pay, Google Pay, you name it. That’s everyday convenience, like sliding your card at the café but cooler because it’s on the blockchain.

Convenience

And here’s the real tech magic, thanks to something called LayerZero, FRNT zips between all those blockchains without the usual hassle of bridges.

You know how bridges can be like a rickety old footbridge over a swamp? Risky, slow, and sometimes a headache?

LayerZero smooths that out. This multichain trick means FRNT’s a smooth operator, accessible and flexible, no sweat.

Wyoming has long been the wise guy in the crypto regulatory world, laying down over 45 blockchain laws to clear the fog.

Now, launching FRNT, they’re showing the country how governments can get in the game, making payments, from public services to supplier bills, faster, smarter, and more transparent.

Think about it like upgrading from paper invoices to lightning-fast digital contracts.

Ride

Wyoming flexing its innovation muscle. It’s a blueprint, a sign that stablecoins backed by states, with ironclad rules and solid infrastructure, could be the next gold rush.

Other states and countries might want to take notes because of the FRNT.

It’s the future knocking, it’s dressed in cowboy boots, and it’s ready to ride.
