Wyoming has become the first U.S. state to issue its own stablecoin, FRNT, which is backed by the U.S. dollar. Launched on Wednesday, FRNT is available on the Solana blockchain via Kraken and on the Avalanche blockchain through Rain, a Visa-linked payments platform. The stablecoin is issued by the Wyoming Stable Token Commission and backed by reserves held in trust by the state, managed by Franklin Templeton. Governor Mark Gordon highlighted the initiative as a demonstration of how regulation and technology can enhance financial systems. The launch marks a significant step in integrating blockchain technology into public financial frameworks, with the stablecoin sector currently valued at over $309 billion. The move has sparked discussions on the implications of state-issued digital currencies, with some expressing concerns over privacy and government control.
