Updated: Jan 08 2026- First State-Issued Stablecoin: Wyoming's FRNT stablecoin is the first fiat-backed, fully-reserved stable token issued by a public entity in the U.S., representing a significant innovation in digital currency by the state government, which is expected to provide additional funding for schools and reduce taxpayer burdens.
- Lower Transaction Costs: FRNT enables dollar-denominated peer-to-peer transactions with fees around $0.01, significantly lower than credit card processing costs, which are projected to save the county approximately $70,000 in processing fees, thereby enhancing the efficiency of electronic payments.
- Multi-Chain Support and Scalability: The stablecoin operates on the Solana blockchain and can be bridged to multiple blockchains via the Stargate platform, with plans to expand to more state agencies and partners by 2026, enhancing government efficiency.
- Growing Market Demand: As global demand for stablecoins surges, Wyoming's FRNT will provide a more convenient transaction method for both individual and institutional users, expected to drive economic development within the state and attract more digital asset investments.
